Abstract

This paper describes a project suitable for students in CS2 that combines the classical implementation of basic data structures (priority queues, lists, arrays) with the design and implementation of several interesting interacting classes. In addition, students can follow up with analysis of simulation results.

The Emergency Room Services (ER) of a hospital is a complex probabilistic system where discrete event simulation can be applied. This paper presents the simulation analysis of the ER at Georgetown University Hospital (GUH), using a unique approach to ...
On Fair Routing from Emergency Departments to Hospital Wards: QED Queues with Heterogeneous Servers

The interface between an emergency department and internal wards is often a hospital's bottleneck. Motivated by this interaction in an anonymous hospital, we analyze queueing systems with heterogeneous server pools, where the pools represent the wards, ...
