תקציר	Agent-Based Queueing Simulation (AB-QS) combines agent-based modeling with queueing theory to simulate systems where autonomous, decision-making entities interact through waiting lines and service points. Each entity (patient, customer, job) is modeled as an independent agent with its own state and behavioral rules, enabling richer, more realistic dynamics than classical queueing models alone.	Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational simulation method, formalized through the work of Thomas Schelling and Robert Axelrod in the 1970s–1990s, that simulates the behavior of complex systems by specifying and running autonomous agents — individuals, firms, cells, or any bounded entity — whose local interactions with each other and with their environment collectively produce global, system-level patterns that could not be predicted from any single agent's rules alone.
