  3. Discrete-event simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete-event_simulation

    A discrete-event simulation ( DES) models the operation of a system as a ( discrete) sequence of events in time. Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a change of state in the system. [1] Between consecutive events, no change in the system is assumed to occur; thus the simulation time can directly jump to the occurrence ...

  4. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    v. t. e. A simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real world. [1] [2] [3] In this broad sense, simulation can often be used interchangeably with model. [2] Sometimes a clear distinction between the two terms is made, in which simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key ...

  6. State diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_diagram

    A state diagram for a door that can only be opened and closed. A state diagram is used in computer science and related fields to describe the behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system is composed of a finite number of states. Sometimes, this is indeed the case, while at other times this is a reasonable abstraction.

  7. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict.

  8. Emergency management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_management

    Emergency management or disaster management is a science and a system charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters. [1] Emergency management, despite its name, does not actually focus on the management of emergencies, which can be understood as minor events with limited ...
