Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Simulation:
- Simulation refers to the method of developing a mathematical or logical model for a complex system and examining with the model to find out the result.
- There are two different types of simulation as follows:
- Discrete event simulation:
- It refers to a model in which the changes occur at a discrete point of time and mark those changes of the system at finite interval of time.
- It is an activity-based simulation and the time is split into small time parts, and then the changes are marked in each part.
- Discrete event models are represented by using entities, attributes, and events.
- Entities are used to represent the objects in the system.
- Attributes are used to represent the features of the system in the object.
- Events are used to represent the interaction between the objects in the system.
- Continuous simulation:
- It refers to a model in which the changes of the system will be continuous and the response over time is defined using a set of differential equations.
- The characteristics or features of the system will be represented mathematically.
- Discrete event simulation:
Weather forecasting:
- Weather forecasting is an example for continuous simulation.
- Weather forecasting is the simulation used to find the state of the atmosphere.
- Temperature, wind, precipitation, and cloud are the main characteristics of weather.
- The interface of the components is modeled using a set of differential equations, which measure the rate of changes in weather.
- Since, there is a continuous change in the weather and changes are updated periodically, weather forecasting belongs to continuous simulation.
