We describe the application of simulation analysis to a complex operational problem involving scheduling, sequencing, and material-handling decisions. The manufacturing process un...
Abstract--Pervasive computing applications involve both software concerns, like any software system, and integration concerns, for the constituent networked devices of the pervasiv...
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
The area of integrating simulation and optimization has recently undergone remarkable changes. New advances are making available applications of simulation that previously had bee...
An increased need for collaborative research, together with continuing advances in communication technology and computer hardware, has facilitated the development of distributed s...
