# List of discrete event simulation software
## MicroSim spec
- **Recommended sim type:** queueing
- **Microsimmability score:** 30/100
- **Layout:** drawing region (canvas) on top; control region (sliders/buttons) below.
### Parameters (tunable controls)
- `Arrival rate λ` (jobs per unit time)
- `Service rate μ` (jobs served per unit time)
- `Servers` (number of parallel servers)
### What animates
Jobs arrive, wait, and are served at one or more stations; the queue length and a wait-time readout build or clear as rates change.
### Learning objective
Relate wait time and throughput to arrival rate, service rate, and servers.

## Concept summary
This is a list of notable discrete-event simulation software.
## Build checklist
- [ ] Claim it: set `status: in-progress` + `lease` + `leased_at`
- [ ] Write the child page explaining the concept (tie it back to systems engineering)
- [ ] Finalize parameter ranges and defaults
- [ ] Implement the p5.js sketch (drawing + control regions)
- [ ] Add caption + the learning objective on the page
- [ ] Set `status: done`
## p5.js sketch
```javascript
// MicroSim: List of discrete event simulation software
let controls = {};
function setup() {
// createCanvas(...); create sliders for the parameters above.
}
function draw() {
// background(...); read controls; render queueing; respond live.
}
```
