| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Flow Diagram, or Flowchart | A graphical means of presenting the logic of a simulation model. It is a tool that helps in writing a simulation computer program. |
| Monte Carlo Simulation | Simulations that experiment with probabilistic elements of a system by generating random numbers to create values for those elements |
| Operational Gaming | The use of simulation in competitive situations such as military games and business or management games |
| Prewritten Simulation Programs | Graphical programs that are prestructured to handle a variety of situations |
| Random Number | A number whose digits are selected completely at random |
| Random Number Interval | A range of random numbers assigned to represent a possible simulation outcome |
| Simulation | A quantitative analysis technique that involves building a mathematical model that represents a real-world situation. The model is then experimented with to estimate the effects of various actions and decisions |
| Simulation Software Tools | Programming languages especially designed to be efficient in handling simulation problems |
| Systems Simulation | Simulation models that deal with the dynamics of large organizational or governmental systems |
| Validation | The process of comparing a model to the real system that it represents to make sure that it is accurate |
| Verification | The process of determining that the computer model is internally consistent and following the logic of the conceptual model |
