DPSS - the Discrete Process Simulation System
Discrete process analysis must be the commonest sort of assessment, in both variety and frequency, carried out.
With data about such processes in hand it is natural to put it to use for the purposes of, documenting performance, drawing inferences
about and making predictions for these process. Among the tools easily applied to these tasks is the simulation, particularly as
alluded to the discrete simulation.
See Background
Use Case
Description
Consider a Service Process Simulation such as a healthcare encounter. The process could involve,
- Inputs client Need(s)
- Inputs Resource(s) required for service
- Generates a Service Result(s)
- Generates Service Documentation
- System Operator provides resources to Serve
- Service can be expedited (secondary results)
Triggers
Client enters system.
Actors
- client maybe anything that uses the system
- service facilitator any entity that makes resources in the system directly usable/available to service
- service provider any entity which provides service using the system resources available
- system resource provider any entity which brings resources into the system for use there
- external provider any entity which provides service with resources outside of the system
usually to the provider made available generally by the system resource provider

Activities
Activities can be presented as a flow of activity, branching but interrelated with the flow through the system.

Classes
This system lends itself very well to object-orientation as the components of the system, the entities render well as objects.
