Simulation Sequences for Discrete-Time Systems with Parallel Interactive Processes. An Introduction.
Abstract
The problem of accurately simulating discrete-time systems with parallel interactive processes is presented in the report. The system to be simulated is assumed to be characterized as a network of subsystems (processes). Although a process may contain memory, no internal delay is required. A process output may thus be an instantaneous function of an input value and changes in process status will propagate throughout the network. The order of execution of process algorithms in updating the simulation time thus become relevant to the accurate simulation of the system. In this report a sequence of process algorithms, which will guarantee an accurate simulation, is called a simulation sequence. The properties of simulation sequences are developed and a normal form is presented. The report concludes with an annotated bibliography of the treatment of simultaneous events. (Author)
