discrete event simulation
[/dɪˈskriːt ɪˈvent ˌsɪm.jə.ˈleɪ.ʃən/]
nounpl: discrete event simulations
simulação de eventos discretos
1. A computational modeling technique that represents the operation of a system as a chronological sequence of events, where each event occurs at a specific point in time and changes the state of the system
Discrete event simulation is used to model the behavior of a hospital emergency department during peak hours.
A simulação de eventos discretos é usada para modelar o comportamento de um departamento de emergência hospitalar durante as horas de pico.
2. A method for analyzing systems where state changes occur instantaneously at separated points in time, as opposed to continuous simulation
Manufacturing plants use discrete event simulation to optimize production schedules and reduce bottlenecks.
As plantas de manufatura usam simulação de eventos discretos para otimizar cronogramas de produção e reduzir gargalos.
Discrete event simulation is a well-established methodology in operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science globally, including both Brazil and the USA. It is heavily used in manufacturing optimization, logistics, healthcare management, and telecommunications in both countries. Brazilian universities teach DES extensively in engineering and computer science programs, with the term 'simulação de eventos discretos' being the standard technical terminology.
