Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new method for the automatic generation and computer experimentation of Discrete-Event Systems (DES). We introduce the concept that DES descriptions may be used to define a searchable configuration space. Configuration instances in this space a represented as a permutation encoding which shows the number-of and types-of resources in a given configuration. Each instance is checked that the number of resources does not exceed a maximum and whether a fixed set of processes (a decomposed goal of uncertain time intervals drawn from a Gaussian distribution) can be logically completed on the given set of resources. If the permutation instance satisfies these constraints, it is subsequently constructed as a simulation model to quantify completion through global features of makespan and total processing time. We claim this is the basis for a powerful tool in high-level informed design of these types of systems that have hitherto avoided autonomous description or h ave been previously individually designed using time consuming manually defined programs.
