Abstract:

Since it is difficult to obtain analytical solutions of performance indices for complex queueing
systems, a method for finding approximate solutions is presented based on Petri net. With the CPN tools, a
Petri net model is constructed for queueing system under four vacation policies. Based on the mathematical
formula for performance indices, performance indices and expected profits are calculated from the dynamic data
collected by Data Collector in the simulation. The results show that the method based on model simulation
is effective, the models and the performance analysis method based on the models have flexible scalability,
reusability and a friendly interface.

Key words:  complex queueing system, exhaustive service, Petri nets, vacation policy, approximate solution
