10、and Simulation,System is defined to be a collection of entities, e.g., people or machines, which act and interact together toward the accomplishment of some logical end. System depends on the objectives of a particular study. State of a system: collection of variables necessary to describe a system

11、at a particular time, relative to the objectives of a study. (the number of busy tellers, the number of customers in the bank, the time of arrival of each customer in the bank) discrete system: the state variables change instantaneously at separated points in time. (a bank, e.g., the number of custo

12、mers in the bank) continuous system: the state variables change continuously with respect to time.
