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 ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 38, No. 8, Current Simulation Research (Aug., 1987), pp. 723-733 (11 pages) This paper describes experiments designed to test the feasibility of ...

Before a potential customer buys an autonomous mobile robot solution, Locus Robotics often uses different types of simulation to determine the type of robots needed and the number needed to optimize ...

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, ...

This module provides an in-depth review of simulation rationale, techniques and methodologies with a particular focus on discrete event simulation and their practical application to inform healthcare ...

We present a general framework for applying simulation to optimize the behavior of discrete event systems. Our approach involves modeling the discrete event system under study as a general state space ...

Within healthcare decision-making, cohort Markov models and decision trees are frequently used. However, in some situations, these are not the most appropriate modelling methods. This course provides ...
