| Abstract: | When decision makers want to know outcomes of business processes in their organizations, they often use simulations to do this. Traditionally, this is achieved by running simulations, collecting statistics and answering questions of interests to the decision makers based on the collected statistics. This paper describes an alternative approach to simulations, called the Query-Driven Simulations (QDS) approach, in which the user first asks the Queries of interest and then, depending on the query asked, appropriate simulations are run to answer that query. |
