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 ...

This concentration is intended to prepare students for modeling and simulating various problems related to supply chain management, such as procurement, manufacturing, logistics and distribution, ...

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 ...
