Over the history of DES, two major paradigms have emerged for the expression of models. The first is event-scheduling [1], which might be called the "programmer's view"; a set of possible events which may be scheduled to occur and the appropriate responses to them, shown in Fig. 2.The second, process-interaction, would then be the "simulant's view"; a set of …

Abstract. In this paper, the performance of a waste rock transportation process in an open pit mine was assessed by using cycle time data. A computerized truck-excavator dispatch system was used to record the cycle times.The process was broken into seven steps (or components of the total cycle), durations of which were recorded for a period of 1 month, leading to N = …
