Event scheduling made easy: basic simulation facility revisited
Authors: Luis Dias,Guilherme Pereira, José Oliveira
Abstract
In this paper, the use of Event Scheduling concepts formodeler-client communication, acting as an automaticgenerator of simulation programs under eventscheduling paradigm - Basic Simulation Facility, thuseliminating any programming effort and expertise, isstudied.The main idea behind this work is to enhance theutilization of flowcharts in modeling, making it a greatcontribution to automatic generation of simulationprograms, keeping it simple and portable.The software tool developed is supposed toperform a sequence of what-if questions with a simpleinteraction with the user. These questions are thencapable of automatically generating a program structurebased on Event Scheduling simulation approach, usingthe Basic Simulation Facility routines.This software tool would then contribute to thegeneralization and better understanding of the use ofsimulation as it only requires expertise in a basicsimulation approach ? Event Scheduling, thusincorporating simple flowcharts defining the system andits functioning rules.
