Abstract

Analyzing systems by means of simulation is necessarily a time consuming process. This becomes even more pronounced when models of multiple systems must be compared. In general, and even more so in today's fast-paced environment, competitive pressure does not allow for waiting on the results of a lengthy analysis. That competitive pressure also makes it more imperative that the processing performance of systems be seriously considered in the system design. Having a generic model allows one model to be applied to multiple systems in a given domain and provides a feedback mechanism to systems designers as to the operational impact of design decisions.
