Proceedings of the 2005 Winter Simulation Conference

Rare event simulation for stochastic models of complex systems is still a great challenge even for Markovian models. We review results in importance sampling for Markov chains, provide new viewpoints and insights, and we pose some future research directions.

History of the winter simulation conference: Coming-of-age period (1983-1992)

This paper presents the history of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) for the time period covering 1983–1992. This was a healthy era of growth for WSC as conference attendance was strong, exhibits were added, proceedings became hardback, program tracks were added, the Ph.D. Colloquium was initiated, and the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of WSC was celebrated in 1992. This article discusses all o...

We discuss methods for statistically analyzing the output from stochastic simulations. Both terminating and steadystate simulations are considered.
