19  Exercise - Practicing Advanced Concepts

In this section we’ve looked at how we can implement the following DES features in SimPy:

• Simulation warm-up.
• Priority-based queuing.
• Resource unavailability.
• Use of the alternative distributions.
• Reneging.
• Balking.
• Entities choosing queues based on queue length.

Design and build a DES model in SimPy that uses at least four of the features above.

The model can be of anything you like - you may choose to try to build the conceptual model you designed in the DES Design exercise at the end of section 1, or you might choose something completely different.
