Integration of discrete event simulation with other modeling techniques to simulate construction engineering and management: an overview

Abstract: Although Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has been the preferred simulation technique in construction operation studies, it suffers from limitations, such as narrowed focus at the operational level. To minimize the effect of DES limitations, researchers have proposed the integration of DES with other simulation techniques, such as agent-based modeling (ABM), system dynamics (SD), and virtual environments (VE). However, limited studies have discussed whether this integration process minimizes DES’ limitations an… Show more

“…DES is a simulation technique that represents a system through a sequence of processes with events such that the state of resources related to these processes changes in discrete steps [40]. These characteristics make DES an ideal simulation technique for studying construction operations and activities as they typically follow the sequence set in a project schedule and utilize a unique combination of resources [40].…”

On the other hand, ABMS is a simulation modeling technique that represents a system from the perspective of its constituent units or agents that interact in and with an environment based on specified rules with the aim of predicting the potential emergent behavior [36].…”
