The determination of AGV vehicle requirements in a manufacturing system has great impact on the performance. This paper first defines requirement as general optimization problem, and secondly develops new method capable effective solving problem. features with combination discrete event simulation (DES), sensitivity analysis, fractional factorial design (FFD) response surface methodology (RSM)....

estimation of parameters of a hydrologic model is undertaken using a procedure called “calibration” in order to obtain predictions as close as possible to observed values. this study aimed to use the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm for automatic calibration of the hec-hms hydrologic model, which includes a library of different event-based models for simulating the rainfall-runoff pr...

The system presented bridges the gap between three different research areas: discrete event simulation, heuristic optimization methods and distributed systems technology. Its goal is to provide a framework which supports an efficient implementation of simulation optimization projects, including heuristic optimum seeking procedures and parallel execution of experiments. It is written completely ...
