AN APPROACH TO DISCRETE EVENT MODELLING PART 2:THE PROCESS APPROACH TO DISCRETE EVENT MODELLING
Abstract
In this chapter we show what is involved in writing a
straightforward process-style model in raw Simula. We show that a process
description may be considered as a sequence of activities, and discuss what is
involved in the correct coding of an activity. We introduce activity
diagrams, which are pictorial representations of the gross model logic from which
it is mechanically easy to construct process-style, transaction-style,
event-style, or activity-style programs. Finally, we point out why raw
Simula just will not do, and give an indication of how to set about
improving things.
