Simulation: At the Interface of Modeling and Analysis
June 25-27, 2009
University of Warwick Coventry, U.K.
The INFORMS Simulation Society Research Workshop is a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and results and to discuss new developments in the simulation of stochastic process and discrete-event systems.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers working in a variety of theoretical, empirical, application and implementation domains in order to reflect on a central theme: Simulation: At the Interface of Modeling and Analysis. More specifically, the topics include the following:
¨ Identifying innovative methods to significantly advance the use simulation for decision making though the interface of modeling and analysis.
¨ Identifying and discussing the strengths and limitations of existing simulation techniques in terms of both modeling and analysis capabilities.
¨ Promoting the interaction between the simulation modeling research and the simulation analysis research communities
¨ Discussing the role of sensitivity analysis, uncertainty analysis, the robustness of decisions to modeling assumptions, implementation issues, and special considerations that arise in specific applications.
¨ Addressing practical, statistical, and computational performance aspects of integrated modeling and analysis methods and research areas.
¨ Identifying the modeling and analysis demands are placed on existing simulation tools that are used in a variety of applications.
¨ Proposing collaborative research methods and strategies to address gaps in existing simulation software that could be jointly addressed by the two communities. |
