This paper presents PiDES, a formalism for discrete event simulation based on Pi-calculus. PiDES provides a rigorous semantics of behavior modeling and coordination for simulation...
Machine failure is often an important factor in throughput of manufacturing systems. To simplify the inputs to the simulation model for complex machining and assembly lines, we ha...

The relative tolerances for interconnect and device parameter variations have not scaled with feature sizes which have brought about significant performance variability. As we sca...
This paper proposes an analytical model useful in the design of conveyor-based Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) to support semiconductor manufacturing. The objective is ...
