Combined Continuous/Discrete System Simulation Languages: Usefulness, Experiences and Future Development

Abstract

Combined system simulation is a relatively new technique for the simulation of a class of systems having properties suitable to both continuous system simulation and discrete event simulation, two techniques well known to the simulation community. This combined technique has first been proposed by Fahrland.

This paper surveys the techniques and methodology involved in this simulation approach. Major aspects considered are numerical behavior and information processing. It is shown that this technique is applicable to a much larger class of problems than originally suggested by Fahrland.
