We present a new technique (RIIPS) for solving rostering problems in the presence of service uncertainty. RIIPS stands for "Rostering by Iterating Integer Programming and Sim...
This paper describes the author's career leading up to the publication of his 1969 paper Digital Computer Simulation: Computer Programming Languages, how it influenced the pa...
As part of the design of the next generation Naval Amphibious Transport Dock Ship (LPD17), simulation was used to evaluate the arrangement and flow of cargo on the ship and to int...
Recently, simulation-based methods have been successfully used for solving challenging stochastic optimization problems and equilibrium models. Here we report some of the recent p...
In this paper a hybrid algorithm to solve Irregular Strip Packing problems is presented. The metaheuristic simulated annealing is used to guide the search over the solution space ...
