Simulation modelers have a diversity of educational backgrounds including several engineering and scientific disciplines, mathematics and computer related fields. Many of the skil...
Large scale / mega projects are lengthy complex endeavors that require significant planning by management, engineers and construction personnel to ensure the success of the projec...
In this paper we introduce the completed unit algorithm (CU-AL), a probabilistic scheduling methodology for repetitive projects. The algorithm has two main advantages, simplicity ...
In this paper we depart from a set of simple assumptions regarding the behavior of a pool of customers associated with an enterprise’s contact center. We assume that the pool of...
Cluster tools are representatives of a special kind of tool where process times of jobs depend on the combination in which they are processed together on the tool and hence, depen...
We consider the problem of estimating the time-average variance constant for a stationary process. A previous paper described an approach based on multiple integrations of the sim...
Semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are among the most complex production facilities. A large product variety, hundreds of processing steps per product, hundre...
Models of real world systems are being increasingly generated from data that describes the behaviour of systems. Data mining techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN),...
We present a hybrid model of the interactions within (multiple-species) populations of bacteria in a developing biofilm which integrates continuum models of population processes ...
