Introduction: "Simulation Roulette" is a new method of "on-the-fly" simulation scenario creation that incorporates a game-like approach to critical scenarios and emphasizes prescenario preparation. We designed it to ...

Computational grids allow users to share resources of distributed machines, even if those machines belong to different corporations. The scheduling of applications must be performed aiming at performance goals, and focusing ...

Surgical training has changed radically in the last few decades. The traditional Halstedian model of time-bound apprenticeship has been replaced with competency-based training. In our previous article, we presented an ...

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 ...

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 ...

The approach by processes, and business processes management (BPM) in particular, has been increasingly studied by academia and more adopted in the business environment, due to its capabilities. Therefore, educational ...

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 ...
