Simulation Tools for Education and Practice

Project description

sim-tools: tools to support the Discrete-Event Simulation process in python.

Binder DOI PyPI version fury.io Anaconda-Server Badge Anaconda-Server Badge Read the Docs License: MIT Python 3.10+ License: MIT

sim-tools is being developed to support Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) education and applied simulation research. It is MIT licensed and freely available to practitioners, students and researchers via PyPi and conda-forge

Vision for sim-tools

  1. Deliver high quality reliable code for DES education and practice with full documentation.
  2. Provide a simple to use pythonic interface.
  3. To improve the quality of DES education using FOSS tools and encourage the use of best practice.

Features:

  1. Implementation of classic Optimisation via Simulation procedures such as KN, KN++, OBCA and OBCA-m
  2. Distributions module that includes classes that encapsulate a random number stream, seed, and distribution parameters.
  3. Implementation of Thinning to sample from Non-stationary poisson processes in a DES.
