In recent articles we presented a general methodology for finite optimization. The new method, the Nested Partitions (NP) method, combines partitioning, random sampling, a select...
As part of an ABB training program, two manufacturing engineers introduced a manufacturing facility to the benefits of modeling and simulation. The project goal was to evaluate a ...
VisSim/Discrete Event is a process-oriented, discrete event modeling toolkit based on the powerful and proven graphical interface provided by the underlying VisSim simulation envi...
The data collection and the automatic run-length control features provided in the CSIM18 library allow model builders to easily collect valid data from a simulation model and to b...
A psycho-physical vehicle-following model tries to capture both the physical and human components of congested-traffic simulations. These models determine the reactions of the veh...
A new approach to simulation response optimization is presented that takes advantage of the ability to run simultaneous replications of different experimental factor settings in a...
Virtual prototyping with 3D drawing programs provides a means of rapidly developing system concepts and analyzing them for form, fit, logistics, human factors integration, and gen...
Scheduling of a construction project requires: a) hierarchical decomposition of the project; b) incorporation of risk and uncertainty in the activity time and cost estimates; and ...
An important problem often faced by simulation analysts is that of choosing (or selecting) one of several potential system designs. This can be accomplished by comparing output fr...
Descriptive Sampling (DS), a Monte Carlo sampling technique based on a deterministic selection of the input values and their random permutation, represents a deep conceptual chang...
