Modeling an Adaptive System with Complex Queuing Networks and Simulation Jesse Musgrove An adaptive system differs from a non-adaptive system in that an adaptive system uses a specific process to identify and implement adaptations to system parameters during run time in an effort to increase system performance. I would like to thank my fellow graduate student Sean Banerjee for his gracious assistance when I had trouble writing this document. Lastly, I would like to thank my girlfriend, my friends, and my family, who regardless of how stressed out and unpleasant I became have always supported me through graduate school.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
