This article discusses management tasks that have to be supported for an efficient re-use of simulation models within HLA-based distributed simulation environments. After a review...
US military forces now face asymmetric military operations. Management of relationships with civilians is often crucial to success. Local population groups can provide critical in...
We consider a portfolio allocation problem where the objective function is a tail event such as probability of large portfolio losses. The dependence between assets is captured th...
We consider the output of a simulation model of a system about which little is initially known. This output is often dependent on a large number of factors. It is helpful, in exam...
Simulation techniques can provide a resource-driven schedule and answer many hypothetical scenarios before project execution to improve on conventional project management software...

Maritime terminals of pure transhipment are emerging logistic realities in long-distance containerized trade. Here, complex activities of resource allocation and scheduling should...
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
