The area of Web-based simulation (the integration of the Web with the field of
simulation)(WBS) has grown since the mid-1990s. The Web itself has evolved rapidly, and …

The parallel and distributed simulation field has evolved and grown from its origins in the
1970s and 1980s and remains an active field of research to this day. A brief overview of …

This tutorial gives an introduction to parallel and distributed simulation systems. Issues
concerning the execution of discrete-event simulations on parallel and distributed computers …

Abstract In Operational Research conventional simulation practices typically focus on the
conceptualization, development and use of a single model simulated on a single computer …

In an attempt to investigate blood unit ordering policies, researchers have created a discrete-
event model of the UK National Blood Service (NBS) supply chain in the Southampton area …

Cloud computing offers the potential to make parallel discrete event simulation capabilities
more widely accessible to users who are not experts in this technology and do not have …

An ad hoc distributed simulation is a collection of autonomous on-line simulations brought
together to model an operational system. They offer the potential of increased accuracy …

The widespread deployment of sensors, computers, and communications in vehicles and
roadways is creating new challenges and opportunities to effectively exploit the wealth of …

In Operations Research and Management Science (OR/MS), Discrete Event Simulation
(DES) models are typically created using commercial off-the-shelf simulation packages …

Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Simulation Packages (CSPs) are widely used in industry to
simulate discrete-event models. Interoperability of CSPs requires the use of distributed …
