(l) A discrete simulation that is terminated after a specific amount of time has elapsed; for example, a model depicting the year-by-year forces affecting a volcanic eruption over a period of 100,000 years. Syn: time-interval simulation. See also: critical event simulation. (2) A discrete simulation of continuous events in which time advances by intervals chosen independent of the simulated events; for example, a model of a time multiplexed communication system with multiple channels transmitting signals over a single transmission line in very rapid succession. [DIS]
(1) Yimfaniso eyodwa epheliswe emva kokuphela kwexesha elithile; umzekelo, imodeli efumana izinto ezichaphazela uqhambhuko lwenyikima unyaka nonyaka kwiminyaka eli-100,000. i-Syn: Yimfaniso yexesha lokuphumla. Jonga kwakhona: imfaniso yesiganeko esimandundu. (2) Imfaniso eyodwa yeziganeko eziqhubekekayo apho ixesha liqhubela phambili ngokwamaxesha okuphumla akhethiweyo eziganeko ezifanisiweyo; umzekelo, imodeli yenkqubo zothungelwano ezininzi ezinemijelo emininzi edlulisela iimpawu ngokudluliselo olunye kuphela ngempumelelo ekhawuleze kakhulu.
