Abstract:
Discrete event simulation (DES) is a powerful technique used in various domains to model and analyze complex systems. To facilitate the creation and analysis of DES models, the development of intuitive and efficient graphical modeling tools is essential. This abstract presents an innovative Eclipse-based graphical modeling tool designed specifically for discrete event simulation.
The proposed tool leverages the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), a widely adopted platform known for its extensibility and versatility. By building on the Eclipse framework, the tool benefits from a rich set of features such as code editing, version control, and plugin support, which enhance its usability and integration capabilities.
The graphical modeling tool provides a user-friendly interface that enables system designers and domain experts to create DES models using a visual representation. Users can define events, activities, resources, and other simulation elements through intuitive drag-and-drop operations and customizable properties. The tool supports the modeling of complex event sequences, resource allocation, event scheduling, and statistical analysis.
Furthermore, the Eclipse-based tool incorporates powerful simulation engine integration, allowing users to execute and validate their models efficiently. It provides a range of simulation controls, including start, pause, and stop functionalities, as well as the ability to observe simulation results in real-time or through comprehensive reports. The tool also supports sensitivity analysis, enabling users to evaluate the impact of different input parameters on the simulation outcomes.
In addition to its modeling and simulation capabilities, the Eclipse-based tool promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing among simulation practitioners. It facilitates project management, version control, and the integration of various plugins and extensions to enhance functionality and extend domain-specific features.
The proposed Eclipse-based graphical modeling tool for discrete event simulation offers a robust and flexible environment for designing, executing, and analyzing complex simulation models. Its user-friendly interface, simulation engine integration, and collaboration support make it a valuable asset for researchers and practitioners in domains such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and supply chain management.
