Abstract :
Discrete event simulation has traditionally been defined by items (or entities). This modeling paradigm has served the simulation industry well, but falls far short for many industries in which the parts/pieces mindset simply does not accurately portray their particular processes. For the last ten years Simulation Dynamics has been working with industries where the item paradigm falls short as a descriptive tool. This work has led to the development of a revolutionary set of simulation tools built on the Extend simulation engine.
