Discussion of learning from discrete-event simulation often takes the form of a hypothesis stating that involving clients in model building provides much of the learning necessary to aid their decisions. Whilst practitioners of simulation may intuitively agree with this hypothesis they are...

Bringing together an international group of researchers involved in military, business, and health modeling and simulation, Conceptual Modeling for Discrete-Event Simulation presents a comprehensive view of the current state of the art in the field. The book addresses a host of issues,...

This PhD thesis was motivated by the simple observation that the objectives of distinct supply chain managers are often conflicting. This problem is usually addressed via supply chain contracts that are designed to align the incentives of the different supply chain partners to the overall...
