Higher Level Modeling in RESQME

RC 13554 (#60544) The RESearch Queueing Package Modeling Environment (RESQME) is a graphical workstation environment for iteratively constructing, running and analyzing models of resource contention systems. It is built on top of the RESearch Queueing Package (RESQ) which provides the functionality to evaluate extended queueing networks. In this paper we describe the high-level building component design for RESQME. The modeler is provided with tools to create his own icons and to associate them with submodels. He then uses ilicsc building blocks to construct his model. This capability extends the funtlaiiicnlal building blocks of RESQ and allows the user to create models with objccls directly related to his application domain
