We introduce the aggregating cache, and demonstrate how it can be used to reduce the number of file retrieval requests made by a caching client, improving storage system performan...
Optimizing a semiconductor wafer fab requires balancing technology and productivity. Recent work on productivity modeling will be described and focus on discrete event simulation ...
This paper discusses the development of a series of models that ultimately leads to an unusual simulation approach to modeling automated guided vehicles on a factory floor. A pede...
