Combining software engineering principles with discrete event simulation

In response to the enormous annual dollar value spent on software, major emphasis is being placed within industry, Government and academia on the establishment of a rigorous discipline for the development of software—i. e., on the establishment of ...

Using software for large-scale simulations has become an important research method in many disciplines. With increasingly complex simulations, simulation software becomes a valuable assest. Yet, the quality of many simulation codes is worrying. In this ...

This paper provides simulation practitioners and consumers with a grounding in how discrete-event simulation software works. Topics include discrete-event systems; entities, resources, control elements and operations; simulation runs; entity states; ...
