A graphical means of presenting the logic of a simulation model. It is a tool that helps in writing a simulation computer program.
A simulation that experiments with probabilistic elements of a system by generating random numbers to create values for those elements.
The use of simulation in competitive situations such as military games and business or management games.
A number whose digits are selected completely at random.
A range of random numbers assigned to represent a possible simulation outcome.
A quantitative analysis technique that involves building a mathematical model that represents a real-world situation. The model is then experimented with to estimate the effects of various actions and decisions.
Programming languages especially designed to be efficient in handling simulation problems.
Simulation that models the dynamics of large organizational or governmental systems.
The process of comparing a model to the real system that it represents to make sure that it is accurate.
The process of determining that the computer model is internally consistent and follows the logic of the conceptual model.
