  OOPM/RT: a multimodeling methodology for real-time simulation
Lee K., Fishwick P. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 9(2): 141-170, 1999.  Type: Article

This well-written paper describes a method for automatically selecting the best levels of abstraction and detail for forming a simulation model that will execute within a constrained time horizon while meeting a prescribed accuracy. Th...

  Production workflow
Leymann F., Roller D., Prentice Hall PTR, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2000.  Type: Book (9780130217530)

If you are considering business-to-business integration (the current buzzword is e-commerce), this book is a must-read. The book is also highly recommended if you are considering automation of workflows. It is well suited for technical...

  Modelling techniques for business process re-engineering and benchmarking
Doumeingts G., Browne J. (ed)  Modelling techniques for business process re-engineering and benchmarking, Bordeaux, France, Apr 18-19, 1996,1996.  Type: Whole Proceedings

While this book is generally a disappointment, it does contain a few pearls. It is a collection of papers on projects in the European ESPRIT Technology for Business Process (TBP) program. Most of the work dates to around 1995. The edit...

  Terrain database interoperability issues in training with distributed interactive simulation
Schiavone G., Sureshchandran S., Hardis K. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 7(3): 332-367, 1997.  Type: Article

The authors provide an excellent survey of the issues to be considered when three-dimensional representations of terrain features are part of a visual simulation, particularly when there are multiple representations. They were motivate...

  Would-be worlds
Casti J. (ed), John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1996.  Type: Book (9780471123088)

This fascinating book touches lightly on a diverse collection of computer simulation models. Casti also presents his rules for good models. It is hard to characterize the audience for this book. It is not a classroom text, a reference ...

  Superfast parallel discrete event simulations
Greenberg A., Lubachevsky B., Mitrani I. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 6(2): 107-136, 1996.  Type: Article

According to the abstract, “this paper summarizes previous results” relating to algorithms for exploiting parallel computing machines for discrete event simulation. The algorithms have been previously published. The...

  Transition times
Lenk P., Rao A. Management Science 41(7): 1117-1129, 1995.  Type: Article

A theorem and two examples show that the Poisson arrival process can be generalized so that interarrival times have a generalized F distribution. This generalization arises when one considers a heterogeneous population subjected to sho...

  Introduction to simulation and SLAM II (4th ed.)
Pritsker A., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1995.  Type: Book (9780470234570)

The C version of Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling (SLAM II) is mentioned in the preface, but all further references are to the FORTRAN version. The book introduces the language elements, shows how they can be used for a var...

  Intelligent Manufacturing-Simulation Agents Tool (IMSAT)
Nadoli G., Biegel J. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 3(1): 42-65, 1993.  Type: Article

A prototype tool for modeling manufacturing systems using discrete event simulation is described. The report claims new results in three areas: representation of decision-making functions using intelligent agents, modeling of hierarchi...

  Fundamentals of computer-integrated manufacturing
Foston A., Smith C., Au T., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1991.  Type: Book (9780133330717)

The attention paid to computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) has increased dramatically in the last ten years. Intense industrial activity to try to harvest the productivity gains from automation has been balanced by equally heavy aca...
