Suggested tutorials for discrete event simulation (DES) - researcherben/structural-simulation-toolkit GitHub Wiki

These do not exist for SST yet unless stated otherwise

Aggregation of examples that could be implemented using SST

• traffic signals, e.g., stop light
  • why: simple concepts in DES
  • resources: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6632548
• Dining Philosophers
  • why: contention and concurrency
  • resources: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simevents/ug/dining-philosophers-problem.html
• buses, bus stops, routes, passengers. More generically, traffic flow
  • why: effects on schedule delay due to contention of limited resources (buses, road lanes, bus seats)
  • resources: https://www.google.com/search?q=bus+route+discrete+event+simulation
• elevators; carwash

    • https://github.com/lpsmodsim/examples/tree/master/carWash
    • SimPy has a set of tutorials including carwash; see https://simpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/index.html
• Omnet has a tic-toc demo that builds in complexity; see https://docs.omnetpp.org/tutorials/tictoc/
• Assemblies of components. Example: cars on roads within a neighborhood, cars on roads between neighborhoods, cars on roads between cities and between states.
  • why: introduce abstractions, ability to alter fidelity by swapping out a subgraph of component/links for a single component.
