Extending DEVS to support multiple occurrence in component-based simulation
This paper presents a new extension of the DEVS formalism that allows multiple occurrences of a given instance of a DEVS component. This paper is a follow-up to a previous short p...

Assignment of probabilities to events for combat simulation
Multitrajectory simulation allows explicit management of random events by allowing particular events to be resolved by random draw, by a deterministic choice, or by creating new s...

Knowledge representation and the dimensions of a multi-model relationship
The exchange of data between different models in a multisimulation environment is about the exchange of information from within the context of two separate worldviews. This amount...

A practitioner, a vender, and a researcher walk into a bar: Trying to explain what researchers do
Practitioners, venders, and researchers form three influential groups within the WSC community. The groups depend upon each other, yet not-enough interaction exists. Researchers, ...

Discrete stochastic optimization using linear interpolation
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....

Managing WIP and cycle time with the help of Loop Control
As an adaptation of the CONWIP concept, AMD has developed a heuristic approach to control the WIP in its wafer fabrication facilities (fabs). The so called "Loop Control"...
