Modelling and simulation have been assigned crucial roles in the design, development, analysis and evaluation of computer architectures. The design of parallel architectures in particular is a complex and difficult endeavour that makes modelling and simulation essential tools. In this case, high...

The performance analysis of network architecture is a very crucial factor in designing multiprocessor systems. Very often, simulation is the only feasible method because of the nature of the problem and because analytical techniques become too difficult to handle. However, simulation can be...

This paper deals with an identical multiprocessor, multiproduct, lot-size scheduling problem under deterministic conditions. The problem is an extension of the single-processor ELSP problem. The objective is to minimize the average production and inventory costs per unit time subject to...
