The American scientist Carl Sagan once said: “You have to know the past understand present.” We argue that having a meaningful dialogue on future of simulation requires baseline understanding previous discussions its future. For this paper, we conduct review discrete event (DES) literature focuses better path DES has been following, both in terms who is using and what directions they think shou...

Objective: Calculate the required personnel and resources needed to fulfill service promise agreed with customer. Methods materials: This paper presents a discrete event simulation (DES) model developed select implement Point of Sale (POS) for company providing financial products. First, shows characterization system components times per process. Then, hypothesis testing goodness-of-fit statist...

This paper describes important features of JAPROSIM, a free and open source simulation library implemented in Java programming language. It provides a framework for building discrete event simulation models. The process interaction world view adopted by JAPROSIM is discussed. We present the architecture and major components of the simulation library. A pedagogical example is given in order to i...
