Visualization of Event Execution in a Discrete Event System

The underlying event model is largely hidden during the development and execution of a discrete event simulation. It is often difficult to understand the connection between the event model, the system model, and the software implementation. This project develops the capability to visualize the behavior of the underlying event model during the execution of a discrete event simulation. The capability is unique in being able to interface with a discrete event simulation software and tools and to interactively step through its execution. The visualization capability presented supports simulation software development, validation and verification, and education
