Tutorial on Means of Hybrid Simulation

Abstract

The benefits of Hybrid Simulation (HS) are well recorded in academic literature. It offers deeper insights into the real-life system as it allows modelers to assess its inherent problems from different dimensions. As a result HS has recently generated more attention from within the Modeling and Simulation arena. HS comes in many shapes and forms. For example, by linking two or more simulation models; linking simulation models with facilitative models; or linking simulation models with analytical models. This paper aims to explore several concepts related to HS modelling and design.
