Many accounts of the human mind concentrate on the brain’s computational power, yet for nearly 200 million years before humans developed a capacity to reason the emotional centers of the brain were running the show. To attain a clearer picture of the evolution of mind, we challenge the cognitivist and behaviorist paradigms in psychology by exploring how the emotional capacities that we share with other animals saturate every thought and perception. Many of the distinctive social and cultural behaviors of our species, including, bonding, social learning, hierarchy, decision-making, self-identity, can be integrated if we use an affective approach.","PeriodicalId":6692,"journal":{"name":"2020 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81354253","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}

Very often cycle time estimations for frontend, backend production, testing and transits are used to predict delivery times on product level and to determine when products have to be started to fulfill customer demands on time. Frontend production usually consumes a big portion of the cycle time of a product. Therefore a reliable cycle time estimation for a frontend production is crucial for the accuracy of the overall cycle time prediction. We compare two different methods to predict cycle times and delivery forecasts on product and lot level for a frontend production: a Big Data approach, where historical data is analyzed to predict future behavior, and a fab simulation model.","PeriodicalId":6692,"journal":{"name":"2020 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"8 6 1","pages":"1777-1788"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74371607","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}

To study the semantics of these languages one may investigate the relationship between them, and in particular translate models between languages in different world views. A translation approach also lets one re-use all the simulation tooling available for the target language. We describe a translation of the classic process interaction language GPSS developed by Gordon in the early 1960s onto DEVS, a modular discrete-event modelling and simulation language with precise semantics developed by Zeigler in the late 1970s. We specify and implement a translation that produces, for each GPSS model, a behaviourally equivalent DEVS model. As GPSS has no formal semantics, there is no proof of equivalence. Rather, we describe the structure of the translation, starting from Gordon’s informal description, centered around the main data structures called chains and the scanning algorithm. We build a working prototype for a representative subset of GPSS blocks found in most tools implementing the language. Finally, we exhaustively test the translation by comparing simulation results of the generated DEVS model with a those obtained by the GPSS World simulator. GPSS World is a popular GPSS variant. We also demonstrate our approach on a small but representative example from the manufacturing domain.","PeriodicalId":6692,"journal":{"name":"2020 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"2221-2232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73959177","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 order to support the planning personnel, the paper proposes a combination of optimization, simulation and machine learning. This ensemble creates mathematically nearly optimal circulations that are also feasible in real operating procedures. An agent-based simulation model is developed that tests the circulation for its robustness against delays. The delays introduced into the system are based on predictions from a machine learning model built upon historical operational data. The paper first presents the used data and the delay prediction. Afterwards, the modeling and simulation part and the optimization are presented. At last, the interaction of simulation and optimization are described and promising results of a test case are shown.","PeriodicalId":6692,"journal":{"name":"2020 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"90-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74231755","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}
