In this paper we present a general framework for simulating and optimizing the operational decisions in a supply chain network. We developed a supply chain network library for the...
Computer simulation presents a variety of opportunities for high school students to receive exposure to mathematics and engineering in the real world. We describe in a highlevel w...
Two basic approaches to simulation model composition can be distinguished, depending on whether the unit of composition is a model specification according to a certain modeling f...
In this paper, we suggest a framework that allows for the simulation-based performance assessment of complex manufacturing systems with Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS)....
In this paper we present a survey on methods for the synthesis of Petri nets from behavioral descriptions given as languages. We consider place/transition Petri nets, elementary P...

We discuss SBatch, a simplified procedure for steady-state simulation analysis that is based on spaced batch means, incorporating many advantages of its predecessorsASAP3 and WAS...
In the last few years, the call center industry has considerably grown especially the outbound call center area, such as telemarketing. The productivity of the call centers has si...
