Class DESimulation

java.lang.Object
  Simulation
      DESimulation

Direct Known Subclasses:

FactorySimulation

public class DESimulation
extends Simulation

DSSimulation is a Discrete Event Simulation Instead of asking each agent to act(), we simply process events from a queue.

Constructor Summary

DESimulation()
No argument constructor

DESimulation(Picture bg)
No argument constructor

Method Summary

void	addEvent(SimEvent newEvent) addEvent -- add an event to the queue
double	getTime() getTime -- return what time it is now.
void	log(String msg) Log something -- write to the console or interactions pane, And to the output file, if it exists.
void	run(double stopTime) Run until a certain time step is reached, by calling setUp (which we hope creates the base agents and schedules the first round of events), then repeatedly processing an event from the eventQueue.

getTime -- return what time it is now.

addEvent

public void addEvent(SimEvent newEvent)

addEvent -- add an event to the queue

Parameters:

newEvent - the event to add

log

public void log(String msg)

Log something -- write to the console or interactions pane, And to the output file, if it exists.

Parameters:

msg - the message to write

run

public void run(double stopTime)
