We consider the problem of finding the best simulated system under a primary performance measure, while also satisfying stochastic constraints on secondary performance measures. We improve upon existing constrained selection procedures by allowing certain systems to become dormant, halting...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the link between collaborative governance arrangements for place-based competitiveness and public innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The paper combines a conceptual discussion of the links between collaborative governance, competitiveness...

We develop improved methods for modeling and simulating the streams of patients arriving at a community clinic. In previous practice, random (unscheduled) patient arrivals were often assumed to follow an ordinary Poisson process (so the corresponding patient interarrival times were randomly...
