Abstract :
An extension of object-oriented design is used to design computer systems to simulate specific queuing networks, and the performance of these systems is estimated through simulation. Substantial speedups were obtained for all three queuing networks. In addition, sensitivity tests were performed on communication and interface attributes of the system. It is noted that environment partitioned simulation appears to provide an effective means of substantially reducing the run time of queuing simulation programs. The simulated results presented for the CR5 and MMc systems are impressive, and should carry over into any queuing simulation composed of the three standard objects used
