Removing corporate commercial[edit]
I'm removing the commecial text at the bottom of the article, it does not belong there. --Robbins 04:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Suggested addition to article[edit]
This is from the article:
- A number of mechanisms have been proposed for carrying out discrete event simulation, among them are the event-based, activity-based, process-based and three-phase approaches (Pidd, 1998).
I suggest adding short descriptions of the event-based, activity-based, process-based and three-phase approaches. If I had a good reference for this I would do it myself. Does anyone know this off the top of their head?

The Three-Phased Approach[edit]
- 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[edit]
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. Hellochar (talk) 18:50, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Lead section is too detailed[edit]
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)
Added DES as the common abbreviation[edit]
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)
Health Economics[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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)
