SEDLab

The Discrete-Event Simulation Laboratory (SEDLab) develops new theoretical foundations, methodologies, and software tools for modeling, simulation, and analysis of complex systems. Our lab is located in the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Our goal is to advance the state of the art in the assisted and systematic construction of simulation models by means of the incremental composition of heterogeneous (multi-domain, multi-scale, multi-paradigm) subcomponents of a system. For these tasks we rely on formalisms derived from general systems theory, in order to be able to integrate continuous, discrete-time and discrete-event dynamic systems under unifying descriptions. Our approach facilitates and promotes the interdisciplinary study of complex systems, such as those that integrate natural, social, and cybernetic phenomena.
