Based on presentation to IEEE's 2010 Winter Simulation Conference, Baltimore, Dec. 5-8, 2010. A discrete-event simulation technique, combined with optimization tools, permits easy management of ...

Fuzzy discrete event systems (FDESs) represent an important evolution of traditional discrete event systems by integrating fuzzy logic to cope with vagueness and imprecision inherent in real‐world ...

Concepts from software engineering and knowledge engineering are incorporated into discrete, next-event simulation. The existing, conventional world-view utilized within discrete simulation is ...

We present a general framework for applying simulation to optimize the behavior of discrete event systems. Our approach involves modeling the discrete event system under study as a general state space ...
