The establishment of a facility equipped with some of the latest in modern material handling systems available today and a computerized-based inventory control system that interfaces with all aspects of its cargo operations, has driven the airline company involved in this study to developing processes to ensure that products and services are aligned with customers' needs. One of the challenges faced is a lack of an evaluation tool that can be used to quantitatively evaluate and compare different policies, business practices and processes within a given set of operational and business constraints. This work aims in developing such an evaluation tool. We describe the modeling approach, the challenges involved and the potential use of the simulation tool. Preliminary results are also reported.","PeriodicalId":257599,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134046227","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}

After generalizing the double-gamma bridge sampling algorithm of Avramidis, L'Ecuyer, and Tremblay (2003), we develop conditional bounds on the process paths and exploit these bounds to price barrier options. The algorithm's efficiency stems from sampling the process paths up to a random resolution that is usually much coarser than the original path resolution. We obtain unbiased estimators, including the case of continuous-time monitoring of the barrier crossing. Our numerical examples show large efficiency gain relative to full-dimensional path sampling.","PeriodicalId":257599,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131536796","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 Bradley fighting vehicle needs an improved medium caliber cannon to defeat the growing threats from improved light armored vehicles and hand held rocket propelled grenades. The Army can continue to keep the Bradley fighting vehicle in service by increasing the lethality of its weapon systems. We examine six medium caliber cannons and their impact on the battlefield. We also examine the use of new medium caliber air burst munitions. Combat modeling and simulation using the joint conflict and tactical simulation (JCATS) is used to predict the contributions of these new technologies to the infantry soldier. Multiple mission scenarios in different environments to include Baghdad urban combat are examined. The medium caliber cannon selected will be the final lethality enhancement for the Bradley.","PeriodicalId":257599,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128949484","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}

As a set of procedures is carried out in the model and the real world, deviations are introduced by the variations between the expected activities and the actual occurrences. More deviations arise from explicit adaptations undertaken by operations staff in response to already-observed anomalies. With each cycle, those deviations are integrated into the model, heuristics are applied to estimate the likely future course of events, and after a simulation run, a new set of predictions is generated from that model, and it compares the new predictions with the last run's predictions. Differences between the pre-loop prediction and the post-loop prediction serve to indicate whether the situation is improving or degrading.","PeriodicalId":257599,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131046160","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}

Traffic congestion wastes a huge portion of the national income for fuel and traffic-related environmental and socioeconomic problems. Computer simulation is a powerful tool for analyzing complex and dynamic scenarios. It provides an appealing approach to analyze repetitive processes. Simulation helps decision makers identify different possible options by analyzing enormous amounts of data. Hence, computer simulation can be used effectively to analyze traffic flow patterns and signal light timing. This paper discusses a special-purpose simulation (SPS) tool for optimize traffic signal light timing. The simulation model is capable of optimizing signal light timing at a single junction as well as an actual road network with multiple junctions. It also provides signal light timing for certain time periods according to traffic demand. Traffic engineers at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka are testing the developed tool for actual applications.","PeriodicalId":257599,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133258010","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}

These models can greatly reduce the complexity of a physical system model by abstracting some of the continuous dynamics of the system into discrete dynamics. Hybrid system models are also useful for describing the interaction between physical processes and computational processes, such as in a digital feedback control system. Unfortunately, hybrid system models poorly capture common software architecture design patterns, such as threads, mobile code, safety, and hardware interfaces. Dealing effectively with these practical software issues is crucial when designing real-world systems. This paper presents a model of a complex control system that combines continuous-state physical system models with rich discrete-state software models in a disciplined fashion. We show how expressive modeling using multiple semantics can be used to address the design difficulties in such a system.","PeriodicalId":257599,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131301762","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}

First, the performance of the existing system was evaluated by using ARENA. Second, manufacturing cells were formed and group technology layout was developed by means of rank order clustering (ROC) method and computerized relative allocation of facilities technique (CRAFT).
