We present a discrete-event simulation model of the response of a local public health department (LHD) to pertussis cases. We take a comprehensive view of public health actions, beginning with detection of an individual patient, confirmation of the case by physician and lab tests, and contact tracing and isolation of contacts by LHD personnel. We explicitly model the information transfer between providers,...
The goal of this work is to evaluate, by means of discrete event based simulation, the impact associated with the adoption of e-Procurement tools across Public Administration. The simulation model presented here involves both traditional and electronic procurement forms. The comparison between the two approaches will point out the benefits of e-Procurement in terms of labor costs, length of time and...
Discrete-event simulation models are the current main tools for nation-building analysis due to the complexity of the problem. However, it is difficult to study the input-output relations in these models because of the numerous parameters as well as the complicated model structure. Model elicitation can be considered as an approximate study of the significant effects of the model without spending...
