a) What are the components of a discrete event simulation? Hint: system state is a key component.
b) Explain what an event list is, what it contains, and how it is used by event routines. What type of data structure is used to implement an event list?
(c)What is a model, what is the goal in building a model, and why do we build models.
(d)Why is probability theory of interest to the modeling of information systems (that is, why do we study probability?)?
