For this reason, we started looking for a new tool that is flexible, fast, and available for everyone. The use of Python Programming Language was selected, with the primary goal of eliminating the previous technical problems and obtaining detailed information about the examined processes. In this paper, we are going to present the problems of the previous models, the development, operation, and main advantages of the new, Python-based DES model, the design and parameterization of the pilot models, the results of the tests, and the next steps of the research.KEYWORDS: City logisticsshopping mallsimulationPythonLabVIEWDES Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":51296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Simulation","volume":"80 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135266160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among other advantages, it increases model transparency and intelligibility for all categories of users including non-experts, and it can be used by modellers as a tool to debug models in development. However, simulation visualisation is often tightly coupled to specific simulators, and, therefore, there is no way to reuse visualisation tools efficiently. Here, we present a specification that can be used to decouple visualisation engines from simulators. The specification also considers storage optimisation to support web-based simulation applications. We also present an implementation that supports the web-based representation and animation of outputs issued from simulators based on the discrete event system specification (DEVS) and Petri Nets.KEYWORDS: Decoupled visualisationvisualisation interoperabilitysimulation environment AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to acknowledge Compute Canada for providing access to their Arbutus cloud-based infrastructure that allowed us to develop and test an implementation of the work we presented.

To achieve this goal, knowledge about dominant factors is a prerequisite and thus presents the aim of this research. The factors to be evaluated are identified through a literature analysis, which leads to more than 40 factors from over 30 sources. To explore a broad range of factors, including their interaction, a design of experiments approach is used in a generic simulation model applied in a multiple-case study. The results indicate the overall dominance of demand-related factors and also the high importance of the equipment specifications across cases. Consequently, managerial insights include a shift of planning resources towards these most dominant factors. Based on the research results, the focus should be on a thorough analysis of the demand structure and the characteristics of the technical equipment. Also, when employing simulation models for the planning of order picking systems, it is strongly advised to use a parameter variation which draws a multifaceted picture of the situation in order to enable a justified decision. Implications for warehouse research are the consideration of variable input, especially regarding demand characteristics, to create relevant order picking scenarios when testing the optimisation potential of new developments.KEYWORDS: Design of experimentssimulationlogisticsrobustnesscase studyliterature analysis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":51296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Simulation","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review investigates to what extent authors share DES models and audits if sharing adheres to best practice. The Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and ACM Digital Library databases were searched between January 1 2019 till December 31 2022. Cost-effectiveness, health service research and methodology studies in a health context were included. Data extraction and audit were performed by two reviewers. We measured the proportion of literature that shared models; we report analyses by publication type, year of publication, COVID-19 application; and free and open source versus commercial software. Out of the 564 studies included, 47 (8.3%) cited a published computer model, rising to 9.0% in 2022. Studies were more likely to share models if they had been developed using free and open source tools. Studies rarely followed best practice when sharing computer models. Although still in the minority, healthcare DES authors are increasingly sharing their computer model artefacts. Although commercial software dominates the DES literature, free and open source software plays a crucial role in sharing. The DES community can adopt simple best practices to improve the quality of sharing.","PeriodicalId":51296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Simulation","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though sizing a clinic impacts both costs and service quality, and costs must be scaled up nationwide, those clinics and their staffing have often been put into service without a proper design phase. In this paper, we propose a simulator that allows us to analyse a vaccination clinic’s performance and optimise its capacity and staff level, considering typical schedule-based operations. Though a trade-off is unavoidable between cost and service quality, the latter being represented by the throughput time, we show that we can achieve a significant increase in the efficient use of nurses’ time with a small sacrifice in service quality, i.e., a small increase of the throughput time.KEYWORDS: Vaccinationpandemicsdecision support systemshealth managementvaccination clinicsCOVID-19 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/clinical-considerations2.
