Object-Oriented Discrete-Event Simulation with Java
Author: José M. Garrido
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461513197
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Researches and developers of simulation models state that the Java program ming language presents a unique and significant opportunity for important changes in the way we develop simulation models today. The most important characteristics of the Java language that are advantageous for simulation are its multi-threading capabilities, its facilities for executing programs across the Web, and its graphics facilities. It is feasible to develop compatible and reusable simulation components that will facilitate the construction of newer and more complex models. This is possible with Java development environments. Another important trend that begun very recently is web-based simulation, i.e., and the execution of simulation models using Internet browser software. This book introduces the application of the Java programming language in discrete-event simulation. In addition, the fundamental concepts and prac tical simulation techniques for modeling different types of systems to study their general behavior and their performance are introduced. The approaches applied are the process interaction approach to discrete-event simulation and object-oriented modeling. Java is used as the implementation language and UML as the modeling language. The first offers several advantages compared to C++, the most important being: thread handling, graphical user interfaces (QUI) and Web computing. The second language, UML (Unified Modeling Language) is the standard notation used today for modeling systems as a collection of classes, class relationships, objects, and object behavior.

Parallel and Distributed Discrete Event Simulation
Author: Carl Tropper
Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781590333778
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Discrete-event simulation has long been an integral part of the design process of complex engineering systems and the modelling of natural phenomena. Many of the systems that we seek to understand or control can be modelled as digital systems. In a digital model, we view the system at discrete instants of time, in effect taking snapshots of the system at these instants. For example, in a computer network simulation an event can be the sending of a message from one node to another node while in a VLSI logic simulation, the arrival of a signal at a gate may be viewed as an event. Digital systems such as computer systems are naturally susceptible to this approach. However, a variety of other systems may also be modelled this way. These include transportation systems such as air-traffic control systems, epidemiological models such as the spreading of a virus, and military war-gaming models. This book is representative of the advances in this field.

Reversible Computation: Extending Horizons of Computing
Author: Irek Ulidowski
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030473619
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
This open access State-of-the-Art Survey presents the main recent scientific outcomes in the area of reversible computation, focusing on those that have emerged during COST Action IC1405 "Reversible Computation - Extending Horizons of Computing", a European research network that operated from May 2015 to April 2019. Reversible computation is a new paradigm that extends the traditional forwards-only mode of computation with the ability to execute in reverse, so that computation can run backwards as easily and naturally as forwards. It aims to deliver novel computing devices and software, and to enhance existing systems by equipping them with reversibility. There are many potential applications of reversible computation, including languages and software tools for reliable and recovery-oriented distributed systems and revolutionary reversible logic gates and circuits, but they can only be realized and have lasting effect if conceptual and firm theoretical foundations are established first.

Book Description
The use of discrete-event simulation in various fields, such as in industry, logistics and public health, has really taken off over the last few decades. The implementation of discrete-event simulation does however require an understanding, and perhaps even a mastery, of precise theoretical and methodological principles. Discrete-Event Simulation presents the key concepts involved in any discrete-event simulation project, covering the most frequently used techniques for analysing data and results, the methodological and practical aspects of implementing discrete-event simulation, along with an introduction to the use of the “Arena” discrete-event simulation tool. This book combines the elements presented with applied examples, as well as numerous examples of simulation projects in various fields.
