Aims

This subject presents the field of systems with discrete character from its essence (contrary to discrete control of continuous systems). This is the question of systems of piece production, of bulk service, traffic systems etc. The subject is interested in modeling, control and optimization of behavior of discrete events. It deals in details with the formulation of the tasks of operations scheduling in computer, traffic and especially in production systems. It gives the overview of using the Witness simulation system - one of the top solutions in the field of discrete event system simulation.
