For large international companies with their own simulation team, it is often hard to make a decision related to selection of new discrete-event simulation software. This paper presents a ...

Based on presentation to IEEE's 2010 Winter Simulation Conference, Baltimore, Dec. 5-8, 2010. A discrete-event simulation technique, combined with optimization tools, permits easy management of ...

This paper is the first of its type in that it provides an empirical study comparing the two simulation approaches of discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD). Prior comparison work is ...

Computer simulation of discrete-change systems subject to uncertainty; choice of input distributions; development of models; design and analysis of simulation experiments; mini projects, exams, and ...

This concentration is intended to prepare students for modeling and simulating various problems related to supply chain management, such as procurement, manufacturing, logistics and distribution, ...

Even in the early days of computing, businesses were looking at computers as tools for setting up complex simulations. Some credit Keith Douglas Tocher for developing the first discrete-event ...
