Document Summary
Each cell"s value determined by sum of neighbors (all 8 cells) If odd, next generation will have value of 1. Line of things waiting for something (waiting line simulation) Most time-dependent simulations have to do with queues. 120, decision making with insight by savage, s. Example from book: average number of cars waiting at toll booth. 3. 67 cars arrive every minute on average. Up to 5 cars serviced per minute at toll booth. Average time to service a car is 0. 2 minutes. Average time between cars is 0. 273 minutes. Check security settings before running macros in excel. Percent of capacity: also known as utilization rate. Increment simulation to the next event - don"t have to worry about time scaling (earthquake in decades vs. nuclear decay in nanoseconds) Next event recorded: someone serviced, or someone shows up. Minimum of the next service time and the next arrival time.
