add_resource: Add a Resource

Description

Define a new resource in a simulation environment.

Usage

add_resource(.env, name, capacity = 1, queue_size = Inf, mon = TRUE,
  preemptive = FALSE, preempt_order = c("fifo", "lifo"),
  queue_size_strict = FALSE)

Arguments

.env

the simulation environment.

name

the name of the resource.

capacity

the capacity of the server.

queue_size

the size of the queue.

mon

whether the simulator must monitor this resource or not.

preemptive

whether arrivals in the server can be preempted or not based on seize priorities.

preempt_order

if the resource is preemptive and preemption occurs with more than one arrival in the server, this parameter defines which arrival should be preempted first. It must be fifo (First In First Out: older preemptible tasks are preempted first) or lifo (Last In First Out: newer preemptible tasks are preempted first).

queue_size_strict

if the resource is preemptive and preemption occurs, this parameter controls whether the queue_size is a hard limit. By default, preempted arrivals go to a dedicated queue, so that queue_size may be exceeded. If this option is TRUE, preempted arrivals go to the standard queue, and the maximum queue_size is guaranteed (rejection may occur).

Value

Returns the simulation environment.
