Managing the overflow of intensive care patients
TL;DR: In this work, several hospitals in a region jointly reserve a small number of beds for regional emergency patients and presents a mathematical method for computing the number of regional beds for any given acceptance rate, inspired by overflow models in telecommunication systems with multiple streams of telephone calls.

Simulating Sensitivities of Conditional Value at Risk
L. Jeff Hong,Guangwu Liu +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proves that the CVaR sensitivity can be written as a conditional expectation for general loss distributions, and proposes and demonstrates how to use the estimator to solve optimization problems withCVaR objective and/or constraints, and compares it to a popular linear programming-based algorithm.

Conceptual modeling for simulation: issues and research requirements
TL;DR: A review of the extant literature on conceptual modeling reveals a range of issues that need to be addressed: the definition of conceptual model(ling), conceptual model requirements, how to develop a conceptual model, conceptual model representation and communication, conceptual models validation, and teaching conceptual modeling.
Journal Article
Validation of simulation based models: A theoretical outlook
TL;DR: The paper starts with a discussion on the views and burning issues by various researchers on model validation and the foundational terminology involved, and later highlights on the methodology and the process of validation adopted.
