Numerous studies published in the academic literature address the issue of journal quality. However, little has been done to evaluate the broad set of journals pertinent to academic research in the decision and management sciences. This study examines the quality of such journals from a US point...

This book addresses the intellectual foundations, function, modeling approaches and complexity of cellular automata; explores cellular automata in combination with genetic algorithms, neural networks and agents; and discusses the applications of cellular automata in economics, traffic and the...

This article considers the construction of simulation designs for the ordinary least squares estimation of second-order metamodels. Two premises underlie the development of these experimental strategies. First it is assumed that the postulated metamodel may be misspecified due to the true model...

This article considers the selection of experimental designs for the estimation of second-order response surface metamodels in a simulation environment. Rather than construct designs based on the premise that the postulated model exactly represents the simulated response, as is the case in...
