Emergency Departments (EDs) require advanced support systems for monitoring and controlling their processes: clinical, operational, and financial. A prerequisite for such a system is comprehensive operational information (e.g. queueing times, busy resources,...), reliably portraying and predicting ED status as it evolves in time. To this end, simulation comes to the rescue, through a two-step procedure...

In many security-related contexts, a quick recognition of security hazards is required. Such recognition is challenging, since available information sources are often insufficient to infer the occurrence of hazards with certainty. This requires that the recognition of security hazard is carried out using inference based on patterns of occurrences distributed over space and time. The two main existing...

There exist many problem agnostic frameworks and algorithms for parallel simulation. However, creating parallel simulation models that take advantage of characteristics specific to either the problem domain or a specific model can create significant performance benefits. This article provides an overview of general frameworks and algorithms for paralleling simulation execution, and also demonstrates...

Outsourcing IT support of an enterprise requires that third level IT support is provided as a service by the outsourcer. Although there is a large body of existing work regarding demand forecasting and shift schedule creation for various domains such as call centers, very little work exists for third level IT support. Moreover, there is a significant difference between such support and other types...

Component business modeling (CBM) serves as a powerful analytical framework for reasoning about the business as a set of business components that collaborate through the provision and consumption of business services. This paper proposes and illustrates a method to calculate the relative importance of the entities that make up a componentized enterprise architecture. The proposed method includes a...
