There are many known modeling paradigms to describe the dynamics of system in process-oriented, event-based and activity-based view points. Among those modeling paradigms, the activity-based modeling is a natural way to represent the activity paradigm of discrete event simulation and our knowledge about a system. In activity-based modeling,[1] the dynamics of system is represented as an ACD (activity cycle diagram) which is a network model of the logical and temporal relationships among the activities. An ACD is easily implemented with the activity scanning method of simulation execution.[2]
Developing the activity cycle diagram
The methodology for constructing an activity cycle diagram consists of the following five steps :
- Specify the model domain.
- List all entities and their key attributes
- For each entity define its individual closed cycle of activity - queue - activity
- Merge the individual activity cycles
- Verify the logic of the diagram and amend as necessary.
