This paper develops a variant of Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm for solving discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function is stochastic and can be eva...
This tutorial will focus on several new real-world applications that have been developed using an integrated set of methods, including Tabu Search, Scatter Search, Mixed Integer P...

Emulation is a very powerful tool for testing and debugging control code/logic in an office environment rather than on the plant floor. Through the use of emulation, the actual co...
In this paper, we focus on the implementation of a localization algorithm for sensor networks using a discrete event simulation (DES) architecture. In this implementation, DES is ...
This paper discusses a two-step virtual reality based conceptual design tool that enables industrial designers to create sketches of their ideas in 3-dimensional space in real tim...
Simulation is an essential tool for performance evaluation of many practical systems where planners typically want to know how the system will perform under various parameter sett...
Wafers in a 300-mm semiconductor fabrication facility are transported throughout the factory in carriers called front opening unified pods (FOUPs). Two standard capacities of FOUP...
The Biotech industry is still an emerging application area for simulation techniques. This paper describes the hierarchical discrete event simulation efforts at Bayer Corporation&...
