The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...

A purpose of the article is describing the methodology of the simulation modeling of systems reliability. At the work is assumed that the process of the use of the studied system is stationary. An algorithm of the simulation applying the technique of discrete-event was presented. An example of using the proposed methodology to the reliability analysis of the air traffic control system was quoted.

Virtual reality (VR) refers to an immersive, interactive, multi-sensory, viewer-centered, three-dimensional (3D) computer generated environment and the combination of technologies required to build such an environment (Cruz-Neira, 1993). Related to problems of engineering design and manufacturing, this new technology offers engineers the ability to work with computer models in a three-dimension...

Scientific research should be reproducible, and as such also simulation research. However, the question is – is this really the case? In some application areas of simulation, e.g., cell biology, simulation studies cannot be published without data, models, methods, including computer code being made available for evaluation. With the applications and methodological areas of modeling and simulati...

IVith tl7e emerging applications of multi-agent systems, there is aluays a need for simulation to i~ertfi the results before actual implementation. Multi-agent sintulafion provides a test bed for several soflcompziting algorithms like f i z zy logic, learning automata, evolutionary olgorithms, etc. In this paper we discuss the fusion of these saff-computing methodologies and existing tools for ...

This paper aims at becoming a first effort for the development of a structured methodology for the evaluation of alternative Electronic Business technologies to be introduced into SME everyday business practices. The main tools used in the evaluation process are Discrete Event Simulation and Activity Based Costing. The business process modelling is carried out using the GRAI methodology support...

We present a formal Modeling and Simulation (M&S) methodology for hybrid control of networking systems. The method is used for analysis, design and implementation of Quality of Service (QoS) control systems in Network Processor (NP)-based applications. We apply continuous Control Systems Theory to enforce Admission Control strategies into discrete–event network traffic. This represents a hybrid...
