Arrival patterns in simulation

010 marks

What is arrival pattern in simulation? Describe the how telephone system can be simulated using GPSS symbols.[10]

Definition: An arrival pattern in simulation refers to the sequence and timing at which entities (customers, jobs, calls, etc.) enter a system. It describes how frequently and at what intervals new entities arrive into the system being modeled. Key Characte...
