    Event Graphs: Syntax, Semantics, and Implementation
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Gunal, M.M.; Ismail Osais, Y.; Wagner, G.
    This tutorial aims to introduce Event Graphs (EGs), invented 40 years ago by Lee Schruben to allow eventbased modeling of discrete dynamic systems. Their simplicity and naturalness in causality modelling and simulation modelling made EGs popular in research and practice. In a simulation, an event causes state changes in a system as well as other events to happen in the future. EGs provide a parsimonious diagram representation for the Event Scheduling paradigm of Discrete Event Simulation. We first introduce their visual syntax and informal semantics, and then present a recent extension by adding objects to EGs. Our tutorial also includes an introduction to the formal semantics of EGs and a Python implementation for executing EGs. © 2023 IEEE.

    Forty Years of Event Graphs in Research and Education
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Gunal, M.M.; Osais, Y.I.; Schruben, L.; Wagner, G.; Yücesan, E.
    Forty years ago, in 1983, Lee Schruben proposed the Event Graph formalism and modeling language, subsequently defining the paradigm of Event-Based Simulation, in a precise way, which had been pioneered 20 years before by SIMSCRIPT. The purpose of this panel is for a group of Event Graph researchers both from Operations Research and Computer Science, including the inventor of Event Graphs and one of his former PhD students who has made essential contributions to their theory, to discuss their views on the history and potential of Event Graph modeling and simulation. In particular, the adoption of Event Graphs as a discrete process modeling language in Discrete Event Simulation and in Computer Science, and their potential as a foundation for the entire field of Discrete Event Simulation and for the fields of process modeling and AI in Computer Science is debated. © 2023 IEEE.
