Redundancy in model specifications for discrete event simulation
1999
ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation
Although redundancy in model specification generally has negative connotations, we offer arguments for revising those convictions. Defining "representational redundancy" as the inclusion of any symbols not required to fulfill the study objectives, we cite several sources of redundancy, classified as accidental or intentional, that contribute positively to the model development tasks. Comparative benefits and detriments are discussed briefly. Focusing on the most interesting source of
