A history of discrete event simulation programming languages

Coordination Languages for Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

We investigate coordination languages as support for the implementation of parallel discrete event sim ulators In particular we show that the computational model provided by coordination languages and based on the shared space abstraction is a suitable environ ment for the implementation of a new event based methodology we call ActE Active Events ActE nat urally solves the state sharing problem...

Reduction of production disturbances of a shoemaking industry through a discrete event simulation approach

This study presents a reduction of production disturbances of a shoemaking industry through discrete event simulation approach. The study is conducted at Peacock Shoe factory found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  This factory faces line balancing problem that becomes production disturbance for its assembly lines. Detail time study is carried out for the selected shoe model using stopwatch. Assembly ...

Run-time support for parallel discrete event simulation languages

Programming Languages: A Short History for Economists

The development of programming languages as a means of communicating with digital computers is surveyed with emphasis on those languages and characteristics of particular relevance to economists and statisticians. There are several different types of software: (1) True programming languages which are used for many purposes in communicating with the machine, such as FORTRAN. (2) Software with gr...

Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

In simulating applications for execution on specific computing systems, the simulation performance figures must be known in a short period of time. One basic approach to the problem of reducing the required simulation time is the exploitation of parallelism. However, in parallelizing the simulation new problems arise. Due to the distributed generation of events causality errors can occur, as a ...
