Increasing the efficiency in integer simulation optimization: Reducing the search space through data envelopment analysis and orthogonal arrays
(2017-10-16)
The development of various heuristics has enabled optimization in simulation environments. Nevertheless, this research area remains underexplored, primarily with respect to the time required for convergence of these ...
A new approach using fuzzy DEA models to reduce search space and eliminate replications in simulation optimization problems
(2020-04-15)
This article proposes a new combination of methods to increase optimization simulation efficiency and reliability, utilizing orthogonal arrays, fuzzy-data envelopment analysis (FDEA) with linear membership function, and ...

(2021-01-01)
Purpose: This study, a practice forum article, aims to presents the lessons learned and the development of a discrete event simulation model to support the funerary system management of São Paulo City, Brazil, during the ...
Effectiveness of low-carbon development strategies: Evaluation of policy scenarios for the urban transport sector in a Brazilian megacity
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01-01)
This paper evaluates low-carbon urban development strategies for the transport sector in Sao Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world. For each mobility policy selected, we build scenarios to evaluate the potential ...

Survey on Simulation for Mobile Ad-Hoc Communication for Disaster Scenarios
(Springer, 2016-03)
Mobile ad-hoc communication is a demonstrated solution to mitigate the impact of infrastructure failures during large-scale disasters. A very complex issue in this domain is the design validation of software applications ...
Simulation and economic analysis of bovine sex selection
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2013-05-01)
A simulation model implemented in the programming software Delphi XE® was applied to evaluate sex selection in bovine. The hypothesis under investigation was that a dynamic model with stochastic and deterministic elements ...
Scenarios of selective logging on genetic diversity and basal area of Araucaria angustifolia populations, with base in Ecogene modeling
(Ipef-inst Pesquisas Estudos Florestais, 2015-06-01)
The Ecogene model was used to investigate how selective logging of Araucaria angustifolia trees affects the long-term basal area (BA) and genetic diversity of populations and what are the scenarios of selective logging to ...
A simulation approach to modelling baggage handling systems at an international airport
(Elsevier, 2017)
The baggage handling system is a critical component of an airport's operations, coordinating many different elements and agents in different areas of the facility. Due to the complexity of their interrelationships, an ...
Assessing groundwater pollution hazard changes under different socio-economic and environmental scenarios in an agricultural watershed
(Elsevier Science, 2015-05)
This paper proposes a modeling approach for assessing changes in groundwater pollution hazard under two different socio-economic and environmental scenarios: The first one considers an exponential growth of agriculture ...
