An important problem in discrete-event stochastic simulation is the selection of the best system from a finite set of alternatives. There are many techniques for ranking and selec...
In business today, re-engineering has taken a great deal of the cost out of internal corporate processes. Our factories and internal support organizations have become much more ef...
In this paper, we propose two speculation-based methods for fast and accurate simulation-based performance and dependability analysis of complex systems, incorporating detailed si...

In this paper, an efficient simulation environment that utilizes compiler techniques to speed up simulation is presented. The method is based on the utilization of flexible, proce...
This paper studies the application of the time segmentation parallel simulation approach to efficient simulation of simple manufacturing queueing systems, namely systems of queues...
The design of a quality timetable for the Dutch Railways is a complex task, because of the characteristics of the railway services. The complexity of the network and the heavily i...
Globalisation and competitive pressure urge many organisations to radically change business processes. Although this approach can provide significant benefits such as reducing cos...
Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
Supply chain management has become one of the most important sources of competitive advantage in telecommunication equipment manufacturing during the 1990
