A simulation based scheduling model for call centers with uncertain arrival rates
In this paper we develop a two stage algorithm for scheduling call centers with strict SLAs and arrival rate uncertainty. The first cut schedule can be developed in less than a mi...

Selecting the best linear simulation metamodel
We consider the output of a simulation model of a system about which little is initially known. This output is often dependent on a large number of factors. It is helpful, in exam...
