In this paper we depart from a set of simple assumptions regarding the behavior of a pool of customers associated with an enterprise’s contact center. We assume that the pool of...
Cluster tools are representatives of a special kind of tool where process times of jobs depend on the combination in which they are processed together on the tool and hence, depen...
We consider the problem of estimating the time-average variance constant for a stationary process. A previous paper described an approach based on multiple integrations of the sim...
Semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are among the most complex production facilities. A large product variety, hundreds of processing steps per product, hundre...
Models of real world systems are being increasingly generated from data that describes the behaviour of systems. Data mining techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN),...
We present a hybrid model of the interactions within (multiple-species) populations of bacteria in a developing biofilm which integrates continuum models of population processes ...
This paper investigates the applicability of the CSPI reference models in different factory planning scenarios. These scenarios are taken from real industrial use cases. The CSPI ...
This paper aims to demonstrate the potential for using the system dynamics computer simulation methodology to gain insight into the evolution of insurgencies. In particular, it ex...
We describe the spatial Agent-Based Computational Laboratory that we have developed to study the pandemic influenza risks of US cities. This research presented a series of interes...
Recently developed dual techniques allow us to evaluate a given sub-optimal dynamic portfolio policy by using the policy to construct an upper bound on the optimal value function....
