Simulation study of complex production facilities can be a challenging task for manufacturing engineers as it requires skills to build the models and to conduct experiments. Accur...
The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is a shared resource in the hospital where patients recover from surgery. It is fed by a set of Operating Rooms (OR's) often spanning sev...
Event based simulations are an important scientific application in many fields. With the rise of cluster computing, distributed event simulation optimization becomes an essential ...
In this paper we present the use of "what-if"-analysis in simulation games for spatial decision making by introducing the concept of multiple worlds. We expect that &quo...
