Removing corporate commercial

I'm removing the commecial text at the bottom of the article, it does not belong there. --Robbins 04:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Three-Phased Approach

A more recent method is the three-phased approach to discrete event simulation (Pidd, 1998).

The three-phase approach is not at all recent and was not proposed by Mike Pidd (although he has written about it in some detail). It was first suggested by Keith Tocher - the implementer of the first DES software, General Simulation Program (GSP) - in his 1963 book, "The Art of Simulation", and is therefore one of the earliest approaches to computerized DES. It was adopted in a number of commercial DES software packages by at the latest the mid 1980's.

Uppercase-happy paragraph

The second paragraph of this article has certain nouns in upper-case, such as "CUSTOMER-ARRIVAL", "TELLER-BEGINS-SERVICE", and "NUMBER-OF-CUSTOMERS-IN-THE-QUEUE"; it tends to be quite annoying and corrupts a paragraph that sounds like it has real value.

Lead section is too detailed

The lead should be a summary of the article; it should therefore not describe any examples (although it may list or refer to them). This lead section does not give a clear description of what a discrete event simulation actually is. Busy now, but will come back and rewrite this when time permits, if no one else has beaten me to it. BrianTung (talk) 19:05, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added DES as the common abbreviation

I have added DES as the common abbreviation. Although I do not think it is neccessary to provide a reference for that in the article itself, this can be verified by searching e.g. on Google Scholar. Alkarex (talk) 11:13, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Health Economics

DES is now widely applied in health economics for the purpose of economic evaluation^[1]. The page would benefit from a section relating to this.

Improve the first sentence

Hello

The first sentence should be re-written as "as a sequence of discrete events in time" because "discrete" modifies "event" not the "sequence".

Thanks

"Future event list" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Future event list and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 2#Future event list until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 01:52, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
