The aim of this assignment is to produce a simulation of a national chain of Health and Fitness Clubs administered by a single head office. Each club offers personal services by a team of trainers to the clients of the club and a central fitness and nutrition advice and record management [url removed, login to view] is a growing section of the population concerned with the state of their health and an industry striving to meet those concerns. Imagine an organisation similar to the real Weight Watchers where once a month a group of weight conscious people meet up record their statistics and discuss their nutritional aspirations. This version of the Health Clubs also offers physical training [url removed, login to view] local base will maintain a queue of trainers ready to train a client. Clients will arrive randomly between a start time and a finish time. There is a Poisson distribution to generate the probabilities of an arrival. Each client will also have a waiting time if no trainer is available, a training time and perhaps a further wait before reporting the updated statistics to head office. The weight of the person will need to be modelled by assuming a diet regime and fitness regime. It is unlikely the person’s height will change and as to their gender, well, it is not that sort of [url removed, login to view] scenario is a random stream of arriving clients into a queue being served by a trainer from a queue of available trainers. This part of the simulation can be modelled as a simple application using queues. The storage of statistics needs to be modelled as multiple clients connecting to a single server across a network. The simulation is required to store data on a per month basis containing the training details and the customer details and statistics history. This server code should offer various options to its clients, must include a mechanism to persist the data.
