This paper uses trace-driven simulations to evaluate two novel Web server scheduling policies called KSRPT and T-SRPT. K-SRPT is a multi-threaded version of SRPT (Shortest Remaini...
The goal of this paper is to develop an algebraic theory of process scheduling. We specify a syntax for denoting processes composed of actions with given durations. Subsequently, w...
Transportation and logistics are fertile areas for modeling. Simulation has traditionally been used in warehousing and inside the distribution center or processing hub in the truc...

Much of the software engineering literature begins with an admonition that what practitioners are doing isn't enough--that the state-of-the-practice is creating bad software. ...
We describe the application of simulation analysis to a complex operational problem involving scheduling, sequencing, and material-handling decisions. The manufacturing process un...
