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
