Due date assignment for customer orders has been studied in various productionenvironments using different modeling approaches. In this paper the researchers consider aproduction system in which the orders of several customers are produced in a single batch because ofthe economy of scale. If a batch is completed before receiving customer orders, inventory carryingcost is incurred but if it is c...

Petri nets have widely been applied in different aspect of modelling, qualitative, quantitative analysis, supervisory and coordinate control, scheduling, planning, and hybrid system design of batch processes. The paper presents an example which shows how to use Petri nets to model and analysis a realistic batch plant. The modular modelling method is adopted to model a real batch processing plan...

One of the existing methods to build a confidence interval (c.i.) for the mean response in a single steady state simulation system is the batch means method. This method, compared to the other existing methods (autoregressive representation, regenerative cycles, spectrum analysis, standardized time series), is quite easy to understand and to implement and performs relatively well. However, the ...

Batch processing, a primary mode of computing in mainframes and supercomputers, is becoming important for networked systems as the computing environments become more and more distributed. In this paper, we discuss the architectural and design considerations , and some important implementation issues of Lsbatch, a distributed batch system for large{scale, heterogeneous computer systems. Lsbatch ...

With the growing need of processing “big data” in real time, modern streaming processing systems should be able to operate at the cloud scale. This imposes challenges to building large scale stream processing systems. First, processing tasks should be efficiently distributed to worker nodes with small overhead. Second, streaming data processing should be highly available, despite that failures ...

This work constructs the membership functions of the system characteristics of a batch-arrival queuing system with multiple servers, in which the batch-arrival rate and customer service rate are all fuzzy numbers. The  -cut approach is used to transform a fuzzy queue into a family of conventional crisp queues in this context. By means of the membership functions of the system characteristics, ...
