The sequence in which characterized resources will be
drawn from a queue during simulation depends on (1) the
ordering of incoming resources relative to those already in the
queue, and (2) the criteria applied in selecting resources for
withdrawal from the queue. To achieve the desired system
behavior, a STROBOSCOPE programmer can define draw
sequences by specifying respectively [items in CAPS denote
STROBOSCOPE programming statements]: (1) a queue's socalled
DISCIPLINE and (2) conditions on the link emanating
from the queue (e.g., using RELEASEORDER and
DRAWWHERE with FILTER-expressions). Example draw
sequences (implemented by ordering, selection criteria, or a
combination thereof) are:
