Simulation of a Discrete Process Using a Block-oriented Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
A block-oriented simulation is well suited for continuous systems [1]. When a discrete system is to be simulated, some special blocks must be created to implement the discrete functions. Generically, the problems found in discrete simulation are all known as queuing problems, for they have one thing in common: they are concerned with the delays experienced by objects while waiting to be processed within a system. The paper presents the problems and solutions for the simulation of a process containing queues, using a block-oriented application.

Background: The waiting list is a list of selected patients in the surgical queue. If demand exceeds capacity, the waiting list grows rapidly, which may lead to unacceptable waiting for patients, especially those in need of acute medical care. Patients waiting for heart surgery are placed on the waiting list for surgery, and sometimes the waiting time is longer than patients expect. Reducing th...

متن کاملModeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism
In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...
