474.0. "Queueing Theory for nonmaths analysts building TP systems" by GVAEIS::DARNTON (Geoffrey Darnton Europe/IS) Wed Apr 30 1986 14:41

I am shortly going to try and write some guidelines for application 
developers who have to deal with transaction processing systems.

I am looking for some very helpful ideas on how non-mathematical people 
can be guided to obtain some answers to relevant questions in order to 
feed into a description of the queue, population, server, etc 
characteristics. These non-mathematical people will typically be 
developers who need to talk to users in order to understand the system 
requirements. Queueing Theory literature is almost inaccessible to the 
non-mathematician, and I would like not to have to do it for them.

Any ideas?

Also, does anybody know any easily available queueing analysis packages 
which could be built into a toolkit for systems analysts?
