Creating comprehensive simulation models can be expensive and time consuming. This paper discusses our efforts to develop a general methodology that will allow users to quickly an...
—An analytical framework for modeling the performance of a single TCP session in the presence of random packet loss is presented. A Markovian approach is developed that allows us...
—In this paper, we show that minimizing the product of path lengths results in minimizing the probability of connection failure between a source and destination given two links h...
Simulation optimization is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for simulation practitioners. Simulation optimization is the practice of linking an optimization method with a simula...
A model is proposed which identifies factors associated with the adoption of discrete event simulation and places them within an explanatory framework. The model proposes four mai...
