While much of the simulation optimization literature has focused on developing and exploiting integration and syntactical interoperability between simulation and optimization tools, maximizing the effectiveness of these tools to support the design and execution of control behavior requires an even greater degree of interoperability than the current state of the art. In this paper, we propose a modeling methodology for operational control decision-making that can improve the interoperability between these two analysis methods and their associated tools in the context of DELS control. This methodology establishes a standard definition of operational control for both simulation and optimization methods and defines a mapping between decision variables (optimization) and execution mechanisms (simulation / base system). The goal is a standard for creating conforming simulation and optimization tools that are capable of meeting the functional needs of operational control decision making in DELS.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121487320","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}

By grounded we mean that the model elements must rest on valid observations of the real world, by fine grained we mean the ability to factor in multiple dimensions of behavior such as personality, affect and stress. In this paper, we present a set of guidelines to build such models that use fragments of behavior mined from past literature in the social sciences as well as behavioral studies conducted in the field. The behavior fragments serve as the building blocks to compose grounded fine grained behavior models. The models can be used in simulations for studying the dynamics of any set of behavioral dimensions in some situation of interest. These guidelines are a result of our experience with creating a fine grained simulation model of a support services organization.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114684964","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}

Discrete event simulation was used to examine six scheduling and staffing policies for the Womack Army Medical Center's Optometry Clinic with a goal of increasing the daily patient throughput of the clinic with consideration to patient waiting times. The best policy increased clinic throughput by eight patients a day, generating an additional $314,000 in Relative Value Units (RVUs) annually, while only increasing patient wait times by 26%. As a minimum, increasing the walk-in provider's scheduled patient load by two enables the provider to optimally treat both scheduled and walk-in patients, with a $94,000 annual RVU increase. Implementation of these results will improve clinic performance, revenue, and increase Soldiers' access to care.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124069806","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 scientific analysis of this data requires equally large simulation datasets of the collisions based on the theory of particle physics, the Standard Model. The goal is to verify the validity of the Standard Model or of theories that extend the Model like the concepts of Super Symmetry and an explanation of Dark Matter.

ASTRO-DF algorithms are iterative trust-region algorithms, where a local model is repeatedly constructed and optimized as iterates evolve through the search space. The ASTRO-DF class of algorithms is derivative-free in the sense that it does not rely on direct observations of the function derivatives. A salient feature of ASTRO-DF is the incorporation of adaptive sampling and replication to keep the model error and the trust-region radius in lock-step, to ensure efficiency. ASTRO-DF has been demonstrated to generate iterates that globally converge to a first-order critical point with probability one. In this paper, we describe and list ASTRO-DF, and discuss key heuristics that ensure good finite-time performance. We report our numerical experience with ASTRO-DF on test problems in low to moderate dimensions.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"os-13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127764056","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}

It deals with the optimal allocation of buffer spaces among stages of a system. Simulation Optimization is a possible way to approximately solve the problem. In particular, we refer to the Discrete Event Optimization (DEO). According to this approach, BAP simulation optimization can be modeled as a Mixed Integer Programming model. Despite the advantages deriving from having a single model for both simulation and optimization, its solution can be extremely demanding. In this work, we propose a Benders decomposition approach to efficiently solve large DEO of BAP, in which cuts are generated by simulation. Numerical experiment shows that the computation time can be significantly reduced by using this approach.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"51 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131653618","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 work presents an ontology network to conceptualize different domains, taking into account the design of a simulation model for a supply chain in a distributed environment. The purpose of using an ontology network is the possibility of developing a conceptual model with a modular and incremental approach.

However, no simulation model is totally representative of the reality. The impact of the model inadequacy on the prediction of system performance should be carefully assessed. We propose a new metamodeling approach to simultaneously characterize both the simulation model and its model inadequacy. Our approach utilizes both simulation outputs and real data to predict system performance, and accounts for four types of uncertainty that arise from the unknown performance measure of the simulation model, simulation errors, unknown model inadequacy, and observation errors of the real system, respectively. Numerical results show that the new approach provides more accurate predictions in general.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"388 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132630860","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}

Despite the growing interesting in understanding human drivers of energy consumption, literature on the topic remains limited and is mostly focused on studying individual occupancy actions (e.g., changing thermostat set point temperatures). Consequently, the impact of uncertainty in human actions on overall building performance remains unclear. This paper proposes a novel method to quantify the impact of potential uncertainty in various operation actions on building performance, using a combination of Monte Carlo and Fractional Factorial analyses. The framework is illustrated in a case study on educational buildings, where deviations from base case energy intensity levels exceed 50 kWh/m2/year in some cases. The main contributors to this variation are the thermostat temperature set point settings, followed by the consumption patterns of equipment and lighting systems by occupants during unoccupied periods.","PeriodicalId":367269,"journal":{"name":"2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115507333","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}
