“…Many of the discarded open source project simulators seemed inactive for either of a number of reasons: not having significant usage in the simulation community; lacking active community activities or forums; not receiving updates in the past 2 years; and lacking any clear information from developers about the active status of the project, especially related to still being under development. For example, JARPROSIM 34,35 did not seem to have wide usage, and had its most recent version update in 2014. A check on the log of its code commit history yielded null results.…”

Simulation can provide a useful means to understand issues linked to industrial network operations. For transparent, collaborative, cost-effective solutions development, and to attract the broadest interest base, simulation is critical and open source suggested, because it costs less to access, install, and use. This study contributes new insights from security and functionality characteristics metrics to underscore the use and effectiveness of open source simulators. Several open source simulators span applications in communications and wireless sensor networks, industrial control systems, and the Industrial Internet of Things. Some drivers for their use span are as follows: supported license types; programming languages; operating systems platforms; user interface types; documentation and communication types; citations; code commits; and number of contributors. Research in these simulators is built around performance and optimization relative to flexibility, scalability, mobility, and active user support. No single simulator addresses all these conceivable characteristics. In addition to modeling contexts that match real-world scenarios and issues, an effective open source simulator needs to demonstrate credibility, which can be gained partly through actively engaging experts from interdisciplinary teams along with user contributions integrated under tight editorial controls. Government-led policies and regulations are also necessary to support their wider awareness and more productive use for real-world purposes.

This article reviews the state of the art in Open Source (OS) Discrete Event Simulation (DES) software used for decision support in Operations Research (OR) focusing on the modelling of manufacturing, services, supply chain management and logistics. DES is arguably one of the most popular OR techniques. Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) DES software has been around for decades and it has considerably helped in the wider adoption and use of DES, providing the user with tools for modelling, debugging and experimentation. However, such tools often have limitations regarding their aspects such as cost, flexibility and reusability and OS DES seems to be a strong alternative in order to fill those gaps. The scope of our review is to present the state of the art in OS DES and identify future areas of research. The paper concludes with the desired features that an OS DES project should have in order to become a notable competitor against COTS equivalents in the OR domain.
