Abstract:
|
This paper describes our experience teaching
discrete
-
event simulation to
several
Engineering
branches and
Computer Science students. In our courses we emphasize the importance of conceptual modelling rather
than the simulation tools used to build a model. We think that in discrete
-
event simulation university courses
it is more importan
t to provide knowledge to students to develop and analyze conceptual models than
focusing in
a
specific simulation tool that will be industry dependent. Focusing in conceptual modelling
with the support of a well-known simulation software provide the stude
nt with skills to create a model and
then translate it to any simulator. Our courses use the Petri Net (PN) methodology by incrementing the
complexity of models and PN using: Place
-
Transition PN, Timed PN and Colored Timed PN. A PN
simulator is used to ana
lyze the conceptual model and different rules and procedures are provided to match
PN conceptual model to Arena simulation software. |
