Teaching simulation basics through flowchart simulation the event scheduling world view
Authors: Guilherme A B Pereira, Luís M S Dias, Hugo T C Rocha
Abstract
This paper refers to Event Scheduling World View, focusing on working explicitly with the foundational concepts of discrete event simulation, acting as an automatic generator of simulation programs, thus eliminating any programming effort and expertise. The main strategy is to enhance the utilization of flowcharts in modeling. Therefore, a graphical support tool (Microsoft Visio) is used to represent how the system really behaves and will also act as the source for the automatic generation of Visual Basic (VB) simulation programs. The software tool VBS (Visio Basic for Simulations) was created to read Visio flowcharts, interpret them and generate a VB simulation program.
