  • Configuring a dispatching rule for execution in a simulation
    Patent number: 9665668
    Abstract: A computer system identifies a dispatching rule that corresponds to a dispatching decision to be made in a simulation of a production environment. The dispatching rule is associated with a set of data processes. The computer system identifies a subset of the data processes that is to be executed in the simulation and executes the subset of data processes to simulate the dispatching rule to make the dispatching decision.
