Qualitative reasoning-based parameter tuning on bottleneck of synchronized queueing network

The qualitative method is proposed for parameter tuning of synchronized queuing network bottlenecks (SQN). The bottleneck diagnosis expert system for SQN (BDES-S) can carry out parameter tuning in order to diagnose and improve bottlenecks of SQN. BDES-S can produce several alternative qualitative improvement plans for the bottleneck. BDES-S is a novel system for applying the qualitative reasoning to the SQN.<>
