We evaluate the efficiency of one long run versus independent replications in steady-state discrete-event simulation, assuming that an initial portion of each replication will be deleted to allow the process to approach steady state. We provide supporting evidence in favor of one long run, but...

Increasingly simulations have been required as supportive evidence to management of proposed system changes. It has long been recognized that the computer running costs of simulations are strongly influenced by the synchronization mechanism used. Recently the time indexed list has been proposed...
