In this paper, we focus on the implementation of a localization algorithm for sensor networks using a discrete event simulation (DES) architecture. In this implementation, DES is ...
This paper discusses a two-step virtual reality based conceptual design tool that enables industrial designers to create sketches of their ideas in 3-dimensional space in real tim...
Simulation is an essential tool for performance evaluation of many practical systems where planners typically want to know how the system will perform under various parameter sett...
Wafers in a 300-mm semiconductor fabrication facility are transported throughout the factory in carriers called front opening unified pods (FOUPs). Two standard capacities of FOUP...
This paper describes an approach to real-time decisionmaking for quality of service based scheduling of distributed asynchronous data replication. The proposed approach addresses ...
Increased complexity of simulation models and the related modeling needs for global supply chains have necessitated the execution of simulations on multiple processors. While dist...
This paper presents a study that uses simulation to improve shop floor performance by means of two layout types and certain operational parameters. In this study, an overview of t...
