Efficient and portable combined Tausworthe random number generators
Tezuka S., L’Ecuyer P. (ed) ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 1(2): 99-112, 1991. Type: Article
The authors write about pseudorandom number generators as though they are generating true random numbers. As the techniques get better and better, it is easy to talk about “random number generators,” but we must be ...

A statistical technique for comparing heuristics: an example from capacity assignment strategies in computer network design
Nance R. (ed), Moose R., Foutz R. Communications of the ACM 30(5): 430-442, 1987. Type: Article
The title of this paper leads to exciting expectations of new results. The title is, unfortunately, misleading. The paper reports the use of analysis of variance to detect the difference in costs between several different simulated net...
