This paper presents research that led to the design and implementation of practical 3D animation methods to visualize multiply-articulated construction equipment in 3D animations ...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
In the analysis of a manufacturing system, the analyst is often interested in the change in mean cycle time as a function of different throughput (start rate) levels. Since the va...

This paper describes a modular autonomous material handling equipment solution for flexible automation. Discrete Event Simulation is in this case used as a tool for shortening tim...
Supply chain management involves understanding complex interactions between many factors and using the understanding to achieve balance between conflicting objectives. Simulation ...
In order to support the conceptualization and specification of simulation models of complex systems, several formalisms or world views exist. Petri nets, differential equations, d...
This paper presents our work on the integrated use of simulation tools in real time for participatory occupational ergonomic studies. The focus of this paper is a synergistic syst...

The human behavior modeling community has traditionally been divided into those addressing individual behavior models, and those addressing organizational and team models. And yet...
We consider the problem of estimating the small probability that a function of a finite number of random variables exceeds a large threshold. Each input random variable may be lig...
