Suppose that there are a number of alternative ways of operating a system, and a performance measure is available for comparing them. Simulation runs can be carried out to estimat...
High performance data grids are increasingly becoming popular platforms to support data-intensive applications. Reducing high energy consumption caused by data grids is a challeng...
In this contribution we analyze communication requirements of multi-agent simulation systems using ITSimBw – developed at Fraunhofer IAIS – as an example. A focus is put on is...
The use of the Operation Process Simulation (OPS) for Six Sigma Projects (SSP) can illustrate visual display of the process by enabling to define, measure, analyze and improve the...
One of the more complex maneuvers a hospital system can perform is moving an entire patient population from an old facility to a replacement facility. All patients must be transpo...
