Book
Fundamentals of Matrix-Analytic Methods
TL;DR: This book emphasizes stochastic modeling by offering probabilistic interpretation and constructive proofs for Matrix-Analytic Methods, especially useful for engineering analysis and design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Queuing theory accurately models the need for critical care resources.
TL;DR: The stochastic nature of patient flow may falsely lead health planners to underestimate resource needs in busy intensive care units, and queuing theory provides an accurate means of determining the appropriate supply of beds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation modeling for analysis
TL;DR: It is shown that a tight coupling of the modeling and analysis phases in a simulation project can lead to dramatic improvements in the study results, and suggestions are made for how simulation analysis, considered in the explicit context of discrete-event simulation models, can create new opportunities for meaningful research and more efficient modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovering simulation models
TL;DR: A combination of process mining techniques is used to discover multiple perspectives of the process from historic data and integrate them into a comprehensive simulation model, represented as a colored Petri net (CPN) and used to analyze the process.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Practical introduction to simulation optimization
TL;DR: This paper summarizes some of the most relevant approaches that have been developed for the purpose of optimizing simulated systems and focuses on the metaheuristic black-box approach that leads the field of practical applications.
