Abstract

Discrete-event simulation almost invariably makes uses of random quantities drawn from given probability distributions to model chance fluctuations. This introductory tutorial discusses the basic ideas and techniques used to obtain such random variates. The two main points addressed are how appropriate distributions should be selected to model different quantities like arrival and service times, and how the variate values should actually be generated from the selected distributions.
