Automating business process reengineering (2nd ed.)
Hansen G., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1997. Type: Book (9780135769843)
I have long believed that modeling, simulation, and data analysis are useful tools in improving business processes. Since this is Hansen’s principal thesis, I was predisposed to like this book. Hansen writes well and the book...

Parallelism in sequential multiprocessor simulation models: a case study
Sellami H., Yalamanchili S. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 5(2): 101-128, 1995. Type: Article
Discrete event simulation is a complex computer application that uses a great deal of computer resources. It is therefore reasonable to attempt to apply parallel computing to this process. The authors propose a technique to automatical...

Things that make us smart
Norman D., Addison-Wesley Longman Publishing Co., Inc., Boston, MA, 1993. Type: Book (9780201626957)
Technology is widely attacked today. Those who defend it, those who attack it, and those who have not considered the issue--in short, everyone--should read Norman’s book. It contains a sensible and entertain...

IT in legal practice: research in progress
van der Wees L., Huysman M. Reinventing IS : managing information technology in changing organizations (Proceedings of the 1994 computer personnel research conference, Alexandria, Virginia, United States, Mar 24-26, 1994) 116-119, 1994. Type: Proceedings
Research that is just beginning on the use of information technology (IT) in the practice of law is described. When this research is successfully completed, there should be a great deal of interest in the results, since the research is...

Discrete event simulation
Pooch U., Wall J., CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, FL, 1993. Type: Book (9780849371745)
If you have a good statistical background, this book should be relatively easy to read and could be recommended as an introduction to simulation. It should be supplemented by a book that discusses the development of simulations more re...

A modification of the process interaction world view
Cota B., Sargent R. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 2(2): 109-129, 1992. Type: Article
In simulations of server/service systems, the behavior of a server can be affected by the characteristics of the transaction being processed. For example, a critical transaction can preempt a server. Therefore, modifications of the sim...

X-Ware Reliability and Availability Modeling
Laprie J., Kanoun K. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 18(2): 130-147, 1992. Type: Article
If you are interested in mathematical models of the dependability of hardware and software systems, you should certainly read this paper. The authors’ conclusion that “it is theoretically possible to perform reliabi...

Analysis of parallel replicated simulations under a completion time constraint
Glynn P., Heidelberger P. (ed) ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 1(1): 3-23, 1991. Type: Article
The statistical properties of estimators derived from averaging the results of multiple, independent replications of a discrete-event simulation on parallel processors are investigated. The parallelism is exploited by running the simul...
