Simulation of Polling systems with Exhaustive service

Hi buddies, I would like to get insights on how to use MATLAB to effectively simulate a polling system with exhaustive service. A polling system is a system of multiple queues served by a single server. The number of queues must be at least two. Exhaustive service is saying that the server only moves to the next queue when there are no more waiting customers in the present queue. Hoping to hear contributions in this regards. Cheers. Mark

Does anybody has a solution for this problem?

Hullo Martijn, I got over the problem by creating a discrete-event subsystem within the SIMULINK model that captured the scenario of exhaustive service discipline. I configured the path combiner block to grant accesss to any queue according to inputs from the If-Action subsystem of the model. The If-Action subsystem was fashioned to produce 1, 2, 3,..., n (the number of queues) in such a way that exhaustive service was achieved, using some compound logic statements
