ABSTRACT
Within the context of combined (discrete and continuous) simulation, modelers attribute considerable importance to the concept of state event representation. Unfortunately, since the methodology introduced in GASP IV, little research efforts have been devoted to the development of a more flexible and a more powerful modelling tool for representation of state event within a support system for model development environment. This paper briefly reviews the existing methodology and suggests a new approach useful for representation of a state event triggered by a complex condition involving two or more continuously changing attributes.

Discrete-event simulation and the event horizon
The event horizon is a very important concept that is useful for both parallel and sequential discrete-event simulations. By exploiting the event horizon, parallel simulations can process events in a manner that is risk-free (i.e., no antimessages) in ...
