 First, make sure that all dependencies specified in the `requirements.txt` in the project root.
 Then, configure parameters in the [`config.yaml`](./config.yaml), and run the following command:

 The simulation runs during a specified duration, prints the results to the console, and show some plots.
 
+### Time in simulation
+
+The simulation has been implemented based on [SimPy](https://simpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) which is discrete-event simulation framework.
+All events are processed sequentially by a single thread.
+However, multiple parallel events, which should be processed at the same time, can be also simulated by scheduling them at the same "time".
+
+The simulation has the virtual time concept, which doesn't have the same scale as the real time.
+If the event A is scheduled to happen at time 10, and the event B is scheduled to happen at time 11,
+the simulation guarantees that the event B happens only after the event A happens.
+But, it doesn't mean that the event B happens exactly 1 second after the event A. It will be much shorter.
+
+If two events are scheduled at the same time (e.g. 10), the simulation processes the one that is scheduled first and the other one next (FIFO).
+But, it is guarantees that those two event are processed before the events scheduled at time 11+.
+
+Using this virtual time, complex distributed systems can be simulated in a simple way without worrying about the real-time synchronization.
+For more details, please see the [Time and Scheduling](https://simpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topical_guides/time_and_scheduling.html#what-is-time) section in the SimPy documentation.
