The National Modeling and Simulation Coalition (NMSC) is interested in a national research agenda that enables the convergence of domain specific modeling and simulation (M&S) approaches towards a common discipline to foster reuse and dissemination of research results. This panel evaluates the various views on such an effort from experts in the domains of science, engineering, and applications.
International Community can decide to establish several types of sanctions on the economy of a country. No matter the reasons of these sanctions, generally, they can have many adverse effects on the economy of the sanctioned country. This depends on the variety and extent of the sanctions. We propose a system dynamics model to capture some of the main reasons behind the economic instability in a sanctioned...
For simulation modeling, what-if analysis and optimization studies of many service and production operations, demand models that are reliable statistical representations of current and future operating conditions are required. Current simulation tools allow demand modeling using known closed-form statistical distributions or raw demand data collected from operations. In many instances, demand data...
Simulation models are integral to modern scientific research, national defense, industry and manufacturing, and in public policy debates. These models tend to be extremely complex, often with thousands of factors and many sources of uncertainty. To understand the impact of these factors and their interactions on model outcomes requires efficient, high-dimensional design of experiments. Unfortunately,...
Hardwood flooring mills transform rough wood into several boards of smaller dimensions. For each piece of raw material, the system tries to select the cutting pattern that will generate the greatest value, taking into account the characteristics of the raw material. However, it is often necessary to choose less profitable cutting patterns in order to respect market constraints. This reduces production...
