By representing data sets with intervals, one has interval neural networks. By analyzing the mathematical model, the authors categorize general three-layer neural network training problems into two types. One of them can be solved by finding numerical solutions of nonlinear systems of equations. The other can be transformed into nonlinear optimization problems. Reliable interval algorithms such as interval Newton/generalized bisection method and interval branch-and-bound algorithm are applied to obtain optimal weights for interval neural networks. Applicable state-of-art interval software packages are also reviewed.","PeriodicalId":339060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 31st Annual Simulation Symposium","volume":"311 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116212916","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}

New connections must undergo an admission control test before they are accepted for service. The paper develops a probabilistic model to analyze admission control methods for the general class of non-preemptive deadline-oriented packet scheduling policies. The authors present a general-purpose schedulability theorem for non-preemptive earliest deadline first packet scheduling. They then show how to use a stochastic knapsack to compute acceptance probabilities. A large-scale simulation study demonstrates that the method provides highly accurate predictions of acceptance rates for multiple types of traffic requests.","PeriodicalId":339060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 31st Annual Simulation Symposium","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116706660","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}

This paper introduces a window-driven graphical user interface modeling and simulation workbench, DEVSW, which we developed to facilitate the use of the existing DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) framework. To demonstrate the usage and powerfulness of DEVSW, a modeling and simulation example of DEVS-based evaluation of buffering control schemes for the continuous media retrieval in the multimedia storage server is presented. With the help of DEVSW, we formulate and synthesize a model of the multimedia storage server architecture. While the major effort of this work is in model development, some performance results in terms of the jitters ratio are available from several experimental runs of the proposed buffer scheme.","PeriodicalId":339060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 31st Annual Simulation Symposium","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133130377","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}

Using behavioral models in simulation captures the functional characteristics of a design block without necessarily relying on a specific implementation. Models can be interchanged or replaced by abstracted models as more detailed models become available or as more high level system testing is required. This will allow larger systems to be simulated as a cohesive unit. In addition, by utilizing function lists to dynamically create faulty behaviors, we will demonstrate its versatility for fault simulating multilevel models. In this paper, we investigate behavioral fault simulation and discuss the architecture that provides greater accuracy for a more thorough system level simulation.","PeriodicalId":339060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 31st Annual Simulation Symposium","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130131447","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}

In this paper, we discuss the main design issues related to scheduling and provide a framework for the analysis of different scheduling algorithms for ISNs. Detailed simulation experiments, using different network parameters, including switch buffer sizes, inter-arrival rates, service rates, and network link capacities, were conducted. Our results show that simple scheduling algorithms, such as FCFS, are not adequate to support real-time QoS when the network load is heavy. The results also show that more complex algorithms may be required to provide an acceptable level of service guarantees.","PeriodicalId":339060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 31st Annual Simulation Symposium","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114693992","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}

This result echoes research work in the area of conventions economy and sociological research on social networks. As a matter of fact, new prospects can be considered for the behavior of the labour market and new ways can be considered to organize an employment agency.","PeriodicalId":339060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 31st Annual Simulation Symposium","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114988279","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}
