Professional Support for Cooperative Simulation Projects – A Challenge for the Simulation of Logistics and Production Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The globalization, the focusing on core capabilities and the expanding international division of labor lead to an economy that is increasingly shaped by logisticsand production networks. Regarding the simulation of logisticsand production systems (which are frequent objects of discrete simulation) this means that on the one hand the intensified enterprise-spreading processes in networks and their systems and structures have to be illustrated. In the future, on the other hand, simulations will not be accomplished by isolated people but rather by several different partners. Usually these partners are located at different places and different time zones. Until now, at the market available tools were lacking support for supporting such distributed simulation projects. This paper describes a solution for cooperative simulation called Web Based Simulation Center that has been developed through co-operation of the Otto-von-GuerickeUniversity Magdeburg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF Magdeburg. Simulation projects are usually cooperative endeavors that involve not only the work on the simulation model itself but also a lot of communication among project partners. In the past, support for communication and cooperation in simulation projects has been poor to non-existent. The WBSC is designed to bring simulation and cooperation together. Because this approach requires and benefits from making simulation tools available on the Web, it is also a first step toward introducing Application Service Providing (ASP) for simulation.

متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Wireless Cooperative Networks with Iterative Incremental Relay Selection
In this paper, an iterative incremental relay selection (IIRS) scheme is considered for wireless cooperative networks in order to increase the reliability of transmission. Different from the conventional incremental relay selection which incrementally selects a best relay for only one iteration; the IIRS scheme iteratively applies the incremental relaying and relay selection processes. To evalu...
متن کاملSum-Rate Maximization Based on Power Constraints for Cooperative AF Relay Networks
In this paper, our objective is maximizing total sum-rate subject to power constraints on total relay transmit power or individual relay powers, for amplify-and-forward single-antenna relay-based wireless communication networks. We derive a closed-form solution for the total power constraint optimization problem and show that the individual relay power constraints optimization problem is a quad...
متن کاملProject Time and Cost Forecasting using Monte Carlo simulation and Artificial Neural Networks
The aim of this study is to present a new method to predict project time and cost under uncertainty. Assuming that what happens in projects implementation which is expressed in the form of Earned Value Management (EVM) indicators is primarily related to the nature of randomness or unreliability, in this study, by using Monte Carlo simulation, and assuming a specific distribution for the time an...
