In the automotive area, a huge number of different technologies were developed in the last couples of years. The car manufacturers have to meet the challenge of selecting the most...
In this tutorial we present techniques for building valid and credible simulation models. Ideas to be discussed include the importance of a definitive problem formulation, discuss...
Simulation models are often developed for a single purpose. However, once a model is accepted by management and other stake-holders, it is quite common and desirable to wish to br...

There are two key issues in assuring the accuracy of estimates of performance obtained from a simulation model. The first is the removal of any initialisation bias, the second is ...
Simulation techniques can provide a resource-driven schedule and answer many hypothetical scenarios before project execution to improve on conventional project management software...

We start with basic terminology and concepts of modeling, and decompose the art of modeling as a process. This overview of the process helps clarify when we should or should not u...
One of the key goals for a simulation model is to accurately replicate the real system under consideration. A protocol is proposed to add credibility to the outputs of a simulatio...
