Abstract: This paper contains numerous extensions and refinements to event graphs which were recently introduced by Schruben for simulation modelling. These new results are integrated with Schruben's work to present a complete description of event graphs and their analysis. A (simple) flexible manufacturing system is modelled via event graphs to illustrate event graph modelling and analysis.
