what different between Config.simlen and Config.depth in despot

[KaedeShen11]

depth is maximum depth of search tree, simlen is number of steps to simulate, so what is number of steps to simulate?? And why take simulation runs greater than 1?

--simlen sets the length of each run/episode. So, each run will contain simlen steps.
Setting --runs > 1 allows to run multiple episodes to evaluate the average performance of DESPOT.
