A discrete-event simulation technique, combined with optimization tools, permits easy management of real-world pipeline operations with low computational effort. Modeling to develop the technique used a non-traditional ...

This work presents novel discrete event-based simulation algorithms based on the Quantized State System (QSS) numerical methods. QSS provides attractive features for particle transportation processes, in particular a very ...

This paper presents a simulation model structure that allows build different types of users behavior using workload models. To develop this simulation structure a combination between continuous and discrete models is ...

Good domain-modeling enables an appropriate separation of concerns that improves quality properties in the simulation models, such as modifiability and maintainability. In this paper, the interplay of abstraction and ...

This study proposes an advanced discrete-event simulation-based tool to support decision-making in the internal logistic design of a packaging line of a multinational brewery company. The selected software, Simio, allows ...

A simulation methodology is proposed to evaluate the performance of large-scale Web search engines hosted by datacenters. The salient features of the methodology are the use of models of parallel computing to overcome the ...

The distributed and executable enterprise models are one of the most important sources of an organization's information requirements where the business expert has not only an appropriate representation of the organization ...
