Performance analysis has many advantages in theory compared to simulation for the validation of complex embedded systems, but is rarely used in practice. To make analysis more att...
We review the current state of research in autonomous mobile robots and conclude that there is an inadequate basis for predicting the reliability and behavior of robots operating ...
The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...
Data Farming is a methodology and capability that makes use of high performance computing to run models many times. This capability gives modelers and their clients the enhanced a...
