User mobility modeling and characterization of mobility patterns
M.M. Zonoozi,P. Dassanayake +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the cell residence time can be described by the generalized gamma distribution and the negative exponential distribution is a good approximation for describing the channel holding time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Verification and validation of simulation models
TL;DR: This paper surveys verification and validation of models, especially simulation models in operations research, and discusses general good programming practice (such as modular programming), and checking intermediate simulation outputs through tracing and statistical testing per module.
Optimization for Simulation: Theory vs. Practice
TL;DR: There is a disconnect between research in simulation optimization—which has addressed the stochastic nature of discrete-event simulation by concentrating on theoretical results of convergence and specialized algorithms that are mathematically elegant—and the recent software developments, which implement very general algorithms adopted from techniques in the deterministic optimization metaheuristic literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Optimization of Stochastic Black-Box Systems via Sequential Kriging Meta-Models
TL;DR: The proposed method is based on a kriging meta-model that provides a global prediction of the objective values and a measure of prediction uncertainty at every point and has excellent consistency and efficiency in finding global optimal solutions.
