https://qsa.inf.unideb.hu/
It has been developed to help queueing related education, but it is very useful for research
purposes, too. Besides the usual mean value it calculates the variance of the main
performance measures, and where it is possible determines the distribution function of the
waiting and response times, as well. In addition, it visualizes these metrics and one of the
most important features of this tool that it runs on most devices, including smartphones
which helps the work of a teacher. It is integrated into the lecture note

The QMAM tool consists of a set of MATLAB functions (i.e., .m files) to compute the queue
length, waiting time and delay distribution of various queueing systems of infinite size. It
includes amongst others implementations of the following queueing models both in discrete
and continuous time: PH/PH/1, MAP/MAP/1, MAP/M/c, MAP/D/c, RAP/RAP/1,
MMAP[K]/PH[K]/1, MMAP[K]/SM[K]/1, SM[K]/PH[K]/1. State-of-the-art solution techniques
are used to solve these models effciently.
The QMAM functions rely on the SMCSolver MATLAB tool (also available on this webpage)
for solving QBD-, M/G/1- and GI/M/1-type Markov chains.

28. QNet Approximator (added October 3, 2009)
This software computes lower bounds on the optimal average cost for a broad class of
queueing networks by solving an approximate linear program (ALP). It is fully documented
and can use either the CPLEX or GLPK open-source solver. The accuracy of the bound
and size of the LP can be controlled by selecting the form of the differential cost
approximation, as a function of the queue lengths: linear, quadratic, certain exponential
functions, indicator functions for certain states, and user-defined functions.
The control problem minimizes a linear holding cost for multiclass networks or more general
stochastic processing networks. Some capability is also provided to compute upper bounds
and policies from ALP solutions. QNet Approximator is available at
http://www.math-cs.gordon.edu/qna
Most of the methods are described in the paper

DESCRIPTION:
Telpack (Teletraffic Analysis Package) Version 2 solves a rich set of stochastic models and
queueing problems frequently encountered in teletraffic analysis. These fall into two
categories: 1) Discrete-state problems: G/M/1-and M/G/1-type structured Markov chains,
QBD processes, combined G/M/1-M/G/1 structure, and discrete G/G/1 queue; 2)
Continuous-state problems: MAP/G/1, PH/PH/1, MMPP/G/1, and GI/G/1 queues, and fluid-
flow and Brownian motion models. Using Telpack, you can obtain stationary queue-length
distributions for discrete-state problems, and stationary waiting time (unfinished work)
distributions for continuous-state problems. These solutions take matrix-geometric and
matrix-exponential forms, respectively. You can also obtain the moments and tail behavior
characterizations of these distributions. For discrete-state problems, it also computes and
outputs detailed queue-length probability vectors, and aggregate and overflow probabilities
as desired.
KEYWORDS: teletraffic analysis, stochastic models, queueing models, Markov chains,
structured Markov chains, G/M/1, M/G/1, QBD, quasi-birth-and-death, G/G/1, MAP/G/1,
PH/PH/1, MMPP/G/1, GI/G/1, fluid flow, brownian motion, queue length, waiting time,

65. QNAT Queueing Network Analysis Tool
Date: Nov. 12, 1999.
Please note that the software requires Mathematica 5
Here is a quick list of the types of queueing networks that can be solved using QNAT -

1. Networks of Multi-server Infinite Capacity Queues with Multiple Job Classes


2. Networks of Multi-server Infinite Capacity Queues with a Single Job Class
3. Networks of Multi-Server Finite Capacity Queues with a Single Job Class (some or
all nodes may be of finite/infinite capacity)

Our distribution includes documentation on the analytical techniques that have been used.
This has been provided through a Microsoft Word file that is a part of this distribution. The
documentation provides a summary of the actual algorithm used by each solution technique
in QNAT and examples of networks solved using this technique in QNAT. These examples
may be found in the samples distributed with QNAT.
