A model is proposed which identifies factors associated with the adoption of discrete event simulation and places them within an explanatory framework. The model proposes four mai...
The search problem, ACCESSIBILITY, asks whether a finite sequence of events can be found such that, starting with a specific initial event, a particular state can be reached. This...
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...
