Chapter 12, Problem 12.15E

(Supermarket Simulation) Write a program that simulates a check-out line at a supermarket. The line is a queue. Customers arrive in random integer intervals of 1 to 4 minutes. Also, each customer is serviced in random integer intervals of 1 to 4 minutes. Obviously, the rates need to be balanced. If the average arrival rate is larger than the average service rate, the queue will grow infinitely. Even with balanced rates, randomness can still cause long lines. Run the supermarket simulation for a 12-hour day (720 minutes) using the following algorithm:

A. Choose a random integer between 1 and 4 to determine the minute at which the first customer arrives.

B. At the first customer’s arrival time:

Determine customer’s service time (random integer from 1 to 4);

Begin servicing the customer;

Schedule arrival time of next customer (random integer 1 to 4 added to the current time).

C. For each minute of the day:

If the next customer arrives,

Say so;

Enqueue the customer;

Schedule the arrival time of the next customer.

If service was completed for the last customer,

Say so;

Dequeue next customer to be serviced;

Determine customer’s service completion time (random integer from 1 to 4 added to the current time).

Now run your simulation for 720 minutes and answer each of the following:

  1. What’s the maximum number of customers in the queue at any time?
  2. What’s the longest wait any one customer experienced?
  3. What happens if the arrival interval is changed from 1 to 4 minutes to 1 to 3 minutes?

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
