The publications that relate to the application of simulation to healthcare have steadily increased over the years. These publications are scattered amongst various journals that belong to several subject categories, including operational research, health economics and pharmacokinetics. The simulation techniques that are applied to the study of healthcare problems are also various. The aim of t...

Sequential simulation of large complex physical systems is often regarded as a computationally expensive task. In order to speed-up complex discrete-event simulations, the paradigm of Parallel and Distributed Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) has been introduced since the late 70s. In this paper we’ll analyze the applicability of PDES to the modeling and analysis of large computer system; such s...

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)....

The recent rapid growth in the Internet and the use of this technology for corporate intranets presents new opportunities for parallel discrete event simulation, hitherto limited to specialist groups with dedicated computer facilities. This paper describes research on distributed discrete event simulation using the three-phase approach and implemented in Java. Two specific implementations are d...

Modeling is an effective tool for studying the behaviour of a system. When modeling, the system’s descriptions are usually abstracted into simpler models. These models can then be analyzed and solved (manually or automatically) by using different mathematical techniques. However, sometimes the models become too complex to analyze formally. In those cases, computer Modeling and Simulation (M&S) ...
