Knowledge gained in the course of a simulation project quite often remains in the heads of the people involved in the project. It is not sufficiently externalized because documentation tasks are time-consuming, seen as an add-on to the real problem-solving process and poorly supported. As a result, project-specific knowledge about assumptions, decisions, modeling philosophy, implementation, experiments and results is not kept but lost, even if it is retained by the people involved. As a contribution to overcoming this problem, logistics simulation knowledge is identified and processes of knowledge sharing, creation and acquisition in the course of a logistics simulation project are analyzed. Although closely related to logistics and supply chain simulation, the methods proposed are easily adapted to other application areas of modeling and simulation - and should be applied to them as well","PeriodicalId":198751,"journal":{"name":"First Asia International Conference on Modelling & Simulation (AMS'07)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128924317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have made several modifications in the protocol DB and then enhance it to password-based setting. The security of the proposed scheme against dictionary attacks is in the ideal cipher model under decision Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption.

Langmuir probes are diagnostic tools used to determine the ion density and the electron energy distribution in plasma processes. RF plasmas are inherently nonlinear, and many harmonics of the driving fundamental can be generated in the plasma. RF components across the ion sheath formed around the probe distort the measurements made. To improve the quality of the measurements, these RF components can be removed by an active-compensation method. In this research, this was achieved by applying an RF signal to the probe tip that matches both the phase and amplitude of the RF signal generated from the plasma. Here, seven harmonics are used to generate the waveform applied to the probe tip. Therefore, fourteen mutually interacting parameters (seven phases and seven amplitudes) had to be tuned on-line. In previous work it was shown that the SOMA algorithm performed best in this application domain and hence the performance of SASS was compared to SOMA. It was demonstrated that SASS outperformed SOMA even without the need of finding a suitable set of control parameters","PeriodicalId":198751,"journal":{"name":"First Asia International Conference on Modelling & Simulation (AMS'07)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126595607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main power for the hybrid system comes from the photovoltaic panels, while the fuel cell and secondary batteries are used as backup units. The optimization software used for this paper is the hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER).
