Conceptual frameworks for discrete event simulation modeling
This thesis examines those aspects of simulation with digital computers which concern the use of conceptual frameworks (CFs) for the design and implementation of a model. A literature review of CFs which are in common use is conducted. These CFs are applied to a complex modeling problem, a traffic …
