What is Simulation?
Copy the behavior of a system Imitation of a system Make similar
What is System?
Collection of entities(people or machine), that act and interact together toward the accomplishment of some logical end. Example: Computer
What is Model?
Representation of a system Simplified description of a system Logical description of how a system perform A collection of pertinent information about a system To study real world facility or process scientifically we often have to make a set of assumptions about how it works. These assumptions, which usually takes the form of mathematical or logical relations, constitute a model. The model is used to try to gain some understanding of how the corresponding system behaves.
Components of a System
Entity: Denoted by an object of the system Attribute: Property of an entity (many attributes) Activity: Any process that causes changes in the system State: Collection of variables necessary to describe a system at a particular time, relative to the objectives of the system Event: Instantaneous occurance that may change the state of the system
