چکیده

R is free software for statistical computing, providing a variety of statistical and graphical functionality. For use in simulation education, R’s capabilities help to develop student intuition. In this paper, we introduce the simEd package for R, written with a pedagogical focus. The package includes functions for generating discrete and continuous variates via inversion, with capabilities for independent streams and antithetic variates; for visualizing inversion in variate generation and the relationship to the pdf/pmf, cdf, and ecdf; for computing time-persistent statistics; for extensible singleand multiple-server queueing simulation; and includes data sets for input modeling and analysis. As we demonstrate using several illustrations, this package, along with native R functionality, provides a compelling case for using R in an introductory simulation course.

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...

History of the winter simulation conference: Origins and early years (1967-1974)

This paper discusses the Origins and Early Years (1967-1974) of the Winter Simulation Conferences. Summary information is given for each of the conferences in that interval, with expanded discussion included for the 1967, 1968, and 1969 formative conferences. The last of these Early Years conferences leads into the sequential paper in this History of the Winter Simulation Conference session, wh...

History of the winter simulation conference: Modern period (2008-2017)

In this paper we review the history of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) during 2008–2017, a period characterized by financial stability, continued growth, and inroads into the new age of simulation. In particular, we trace the modernization of the Conference as well as its expansion outside of the United States for the first time.
