In this paper we propose a methodology which combines Forward and Backward Simulation in order to extend discrete-event simulation by the ability to calculate float times. In the case of Backward Simulation, the simulation starts at the virtual completion date of the construction project and runs backwards in time until the start date. To determine float times it is important that the task execution...
