Abstract— The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a robust stochastic evolutionary computation technique based on the movement and intelligence of swarms. This paper p...
— We present an ant-based algorithm for spatially sorting objects into an annular structure. The model is minimal, as it requires only stochastic ant behaviour coupled with a phe...
— We present results of a collaboration project, during which parts of General Motors’ north American vehicle supply chain have been modeled and evaluated. A variant of colored...

Stochastic simulations involve at least some random inputs. This introductory tutorial is meant to call attention to the need to model and generate such inputs in ways that may no...
This paper describes the tool CASPA, a new performance evaluation tool which is based on a Markovian stochastic process algebra. CASPA uses multi-terminal binary decision diagrams ...
