To optimize large-scale queuing systems configurations, OR professionals typically use discrete event simulation packages to examine in detail the movement of entities through such systems, assuming stochastic but fixed arrival patterns. Demand aspects are, however, routinely ignored as few...

The modeling and analysis of system and network performance issues are useful tools in the development and engineering processes. The analytical models have a high value in the early stages to uncover major performance problems which affect the design of the architecture before the cost of...

Judging from the vast number of articles in the field of queuing simulation, that assumes i.i.d. in one or more of the stochastic processes used to model the situation at hand, often without much validation, it seems that sequence independence must be a very basic property of many real life...

The paper starts with the discussion of the present way of teaching computer simulation and contrasts it with teaching the same subject with the help of multimedia instruments. The practical implementations of the main principles are demonstrated with the help of multimedia teaching materials,...

(ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM) methods were employed. The average energy … ratio was obtained 1.205, and the R2 of the best ANFIS, ANN and RSM models were 0.989, 0.966, and 0.990, respectively, and … MSE was calculated at 0.0005, 0.0015 and 0.00003. The results revealed that the RSM and ANFIS models were preferred to the …
