List of Queueing Theory Software

1. 
   (Feb., 2021)QSA Applications. from University of Debrcen (Hungary)
   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

23. (added December 14, 2010) From B. Van Houdt:
    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

    Telpack Version 2
    is now available for unrestricted general use free of charge. This new extended version is much more powerful than Version, and it works on Windows and Intel-Linux platforms.
    (Information from Nihat C. Oguz, University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Interdisciplinary Computing and Engineering)
    oguzn@umkc.edu
    http://www.sice.umkc.edu/telpack/
    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, unfinished work, matrix geometric, matrix exponential, tail distribution
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.
