Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has been used as a design and validation tool in various production and business applications. DES can also be utilized for analyzing the product-m...
The paper describes a simulation substrate that allows thinking agents to interact with a world. The world is simulated by standard discrete event simulation, but the timing of an...
For many companies the scheduling of job shops proves very difficult. Competing priorities (due dates, potential profit) from multiple customers confronts the plant manager with m...
: Partially-observable Markov decision processes provide a very general model for decision-theoretic planning problems, allowing the trade-offs between various courses of actions t...
