We report a study to determine the impact of four types of disturbances on the failure intensity of a software product undergoing system test. Hardware failures, discovery of a cr...
Named urban neighborhoods (localities) are often examples of vague place extents. These are compared with current knowledge of vagueness in concepts and categories within semantic ...
Stochastic simulations involve at least some random inputs. This introductory tutorial is meant to call attention to the need to model and generate such inputs in ways that may no...
This paper examines whether the ability to reuse a simulation, in whole or in part, results in tangible cost savings on the overall economics of the original simulation. Specific ...
This paper proposes mixture models for spatially adaptive smoothing of health event data (e.g. mortality or illness totals). Such models allow for spatial pooling of strength but a...
