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
