Abstract
In this paper we present an algorithm for derivative estimation of dis crete-event dynamic systems (DED's). This algorithm is applicable to d erivative estimation with respect to most structural parameters in DED 's. It extends the applicability of existing perturbation analysis tec hniques (including infinitesimal perturbation analysis) on structural parameters. Furthermore, it offers an alternative approach to derivati ve estimation in DED's which sheds additional light on discrete-event simulation. Finally, unifying relationships with existing techniques a re discussed.
