Team project

1. The purpose of this project is

• to understand the concept of queues
• to design operations associated to queues
• to implement the operations to realize ADT concept

2. Problem Description

• There are many applications using queues such as Process queue of operating systems Assembly line in a factory Communication packages Messages passed through devices I/O
• The items to process may arrive at different time require specific machine to process them
• Simulated time (Counter) for Entering an item to a particular queue (arrival time) Processing the next item (Dequeue)

3. Steps

1. Generate data
2. Organize data
   • Read in a set of items
   • Place them in a right order according to arrival time
3. Assign items to corresponding queues
4. Let the user define the process time for items associated to different types of queues
5. Produce a report containing
   • How many items were processed for each queue
   • Maximum number of items waiting in a queue at one time
   • Average amount of time spent in a queue for each type of items

4. Result
