What Is Simulation? Simulation: A model of a complex system and the
experimental manipulation of the model to observe the results.
Systems that are best suited to being simulated are dynamic, interactive, and complicated.
Model: An abstraction of a real system.It is a representation of the objects within the system and the rules that govern the interactions of the objects.

Constructing Models A Discrete Event Simulation…
consists of entities, attributes, and events.
Entity: the representation of some object in the real system that must be explicitly defined
Attribute: some characteristic of a particular entity
Event: an interaction between entities

Queuing Systems Queuing system: a discrete-event model that
uses random numbers to represent the arrival and duration of events. The system is made up of servers and queues of
objects to be served. The objective is to utilize the servers as fully as
possible while keeping the wait time within a reasonable limit.

Queuing Systems To construct a queuing model, we must know the following
four things: the number of servers
the number of events and how they affect the system in order to determine the rules of entity interaction
the distribution of arrival times in order to determine if an entity enters the system
the expected service time in order to determine the duration of an event

Constructing Models A Continuous Simulation…
Treats time as continuous and expresses changes in terms of a set of differential equations that reflect the relationships among the set of characteristics.
Meteorological models fall into this category.

Meteorological Models Meteorological models are based on the time-
dependent, partial differential equations of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
Initial values for the variables are entered from observation, and the equations are solved to define the values of the variables at some later time.

Meteorological Models Computer models are designed to aid the
weathercaster, not replace him or her.
The outputs from the computer models are predictions of the values of variables in the future.
It is up to the weathercaster to determine what the values mean.

Hurricane Tracking The modules for hurricane tracking are called
relocatable models, because they are applied to a moving target.
The Geophysical and Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) developed the most recent hurricane model in order to improve the prediction of where a hurricane would make landfall.

Discrete or Continuous?Consider the Pepper Moth Population Simulation
in Lab 7.
Is it an example of discrete or continuous simulation?
