Would you BET on the future? WE DO!
Because we have the best discrete event-driven simulation
tool ever done. Faber is a suite of design, simulation
and result analysis tools, it may concern for discrete event-driven systems. The
system under inspection is modeled using the formal language based on Extended
Petri Nets. The initial conditions of the model may be easily defined in
different simulation scenarios. The results are collected in plots and may also be
correlated. Statistical post-processing operations are available directly on the
plots.
The modeling language is based
on a formalism developed by Prof. Carl Adam Petri in the early sixties. Faber
has extended it in order to integrate modern concepts of Object Oriented Design
and to allow simulation of real systems introducing the time simulation. The
language is graphical and consists of a very small set of symbols connected
through a very few and simple syntactic rules. This makes the language easy and
quick to learn to everybody. Furthermore, simple C/C++ routines may be introduced
in the model activities or also calls to more complex external functions. In
this way model may be easily integrated with existing software components.
Modeling the system involve also the relational data
management. One or more entity-relationship models define databases that store
system data values during the simulation. You can access to these data using a
powerful query language tightly integrated with the C language. The query
language acts directly upon entities, relationships and attributes as they are
graphically defined in the extended entity-relationship model.
Both the Petri net model and the entity-relationship model
may be validated before starting the simulation. To validate a model means to start a
step-by-step simulation where graphically debug the dynamic aspects of the
model. Model states and token data structures flowing in the net may be examined
at any time. Also the model databases may be inspected to view and modify data.
With the Faber discrete event simulation
systems have no secrets anymore.
Whatever is their future, we will find it!
Right now.
Do not GUESS the future. MODEL IT!
