Study Notes
System Classification
- Systems can be classified based on time frame, type of measurements taken, and type of interactions
System Definition
- A system is characterized by its boundary, components, and interactions
- A system is an organized relationship among functioning units or components
- A system can be defined as a group of entities with interrelated attributes and activities
System Types
- Discrete system: e.g., Queuing systems
- Continuous system:
- Hybrid system: has both continuous and discrete dynamic behavior
System Environment
- Separating the system and its environment is by a boundary
- The environment interacts with the system
System State
- The state of a system is defined by the collection of variables describing the system at any given time
- An event is an immediate occurrence that might change the state of the system
Simulation
- Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time
- Simulation can be used as an analysis tool and design tool
- Simulation languages: Python, Java, (not CQL)
System Components
- Entity: making deposits
- Attribute: speed and capacity
- Activity: welding and stamping
- Event: an immediate occurrence that might change the system's state
Living Organisms
- Living organisms are classified as open systems
Evaluate your understanding of simulation concepts and system types, including discrete, static, hybrid, and continuous systems. Test your knowledge of when simulation is the appropriate tool and how to define the state of a system.
