The process by which outpatients are scheduled for a doctor's visit is a crucial determinant of the overall efficiency of the patient flow. The problem at hand consists of de...
This paper reports findings of a study of shock absorber assembly line using computer simulation. The shock absorber assembly line feeds shockers to the motorcycle assembly line. ...
In many practical applications of simulation it is desirable to optimize the levels of integer or binary variables that are inputs for the simulation model. In these cases, the ob...

This paper explores current metaphors for visualizing agent-based models. Metaphors include grid, network, ndimensional cubes and landscape visualization techniques. A final secti...
Building computational models of real world systems usually requires the interaction of decision modules and simulation modules. Given different models and algorithms, the major h...

We consider the problem of optimal allocation of computing budget to maximize the probability of correct selection in the ordinal optimization setting. This problem has been studi...
Human behavior representation (HBR) is an elusive, yet critical goal for many in the simulation community. Requirement specifications related to HBR often exceed current capabilit...

Recursive simulation is the technique of having simulated decisionmakers themselves use simulation to inform their decisionmaking. Issues of efficiency require that the recursive ...
Facing the prospect of teaching a simulation course for the first time can be a bit overwhelming. This panel shares tips and strategies for teaching simulation based upon a wide v...
