Investigating Output Accuracy For A Discrete Event Simulation Model And An Agent Based Simulation Model

In this paper, we investigate output accuracy for a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model and Agent Based Simulation (ABS) model. The purpose of this investigation is to find out which of these simulation techniques is the best one for modelling human reactive behaviour in the retail sector. In orde...
