Differentiation should include
- discrete event simulation (DES)
- agent-based modeling (ABM)
- system dynamic modeling
- physical models.
Process/Skill Questions:
- Why is it important to identify the modeling method before starting the design?
- How are the different modeling methods applied?
- How does one determine the best modeling method for a given problem (e.g., strengths, limitations)?
- When is it appropriate to use real time vs. virtual time?
