We present a critique of the current teaching practices of simulation. We challenge the current view of simulation, to the extent that most textbooks' contents will be found to be secondary to the missing necessary primary material. We advocate that (simulation) education has four general objectives, which are to teach students how to learn, how to think creatively, how to problem solve, and how to be professionals. These four objectives of education may not be possible to teach. In the words of Oscar Wilde, "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught". So an education in simulation requires that students be put into learning situations that enable them to learn the requisite knowledge concerning the four objectives.

Can a PhD be of even greater benefit to a candidate than just the award of the PhD? This paper argues yes, A PhD is a process of learning by doing, during which the successful candidate discovers what being a researcher is all about, and how to write academically. The PhD dissertation is the artifact that demonstrates that the process has been undertaken successfully. It might appear that this is as much as you can expect from a PhD. Upon completion and successful defense, the intensity of focus and effort in the last stages often leaves the successful candidate almost bereft, so all consuming has this been. It would be asking too much perhaps to want more. This paper sets out to show that more should be required, not for the PhD itself, but to benefit the candidate even more. The question is how? © 2007 IEEE.

The use of simulation in the healthcare area is not widespread when compared with other areas. The paper suggests that traditional approaches to modeling may not fully utilize simulation for tackling healthcare problems. Healthcare systems are often complex with multiple decision makers. A modeling approach is proposed which enhances stakeholders' understanding and intercommunications. The structure of this approach is participative, including the stakeholders. The behavior of the approach is iterative rather than step-based. An example is given showing how this approach is used for facilitating the modeling process. It is found that involving stakeholders throughout the modeling process helps them understand their problem, coupled with more appreciation for findings from the model. This process is also found to be useful in enhancing stakeholder intercommunication.

Global search strategies for simulation optimisation

Global search strategies for simulation optimisation

simulation optimization is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for simulation practitioners, as several simulation packages include add-on optimization tools. We are concentrating on an automated optimization approach that is based on adapting model parameters in order to handle uncertainty that arises from stochastic elements of the process under study. We particularly investigate the use of global search methods in this context, as these methods allow the optimization strategy to escape from sub-optimal (i.e., local) solutions and, in that sense, they improve the efficiency of the simulation optimization process. The paper compares several global search methods and demonstrates the successful application of the Particle Swarm Optimizer to simulation modeling optimization and design of a steelworks plant, a representative example of the stochastic and unpredictable behavior of a complex discrete event simulation model.

The Grab and Glue discrete event simulation (Grab-and-Glue) framework has been proposed for several years. This paper investigates the feasibility of this framework. A simulation model of a single server queuing system is constructed by following the Grab-and-Glue framework as a ubiquitous example. Different scissions are grabbed from the Web or programming textbooks, and glued together using JBuilder5. The potential of Grab-and-Glue is discussed as well as the current challenges of constructing Grab-and-Glue simulation models. Some critiques and recommendations for the ongoing research on constructing simulation models based on the Grab-and-Glue framework have also been proposed.

How do we consider problems and models in the practice of simulation? It is our possibly contentious observation that simulation model solving seems to be more critical to the mission of simulation modeling than problem solving. Inspired by the theme of this year's Winter simulation Conference, we ask the question, "Is problem solving, or simulation model solving, mission critical?" To investigate this we look at three perspectives, those of the textbook, the article and the editorial. The textbook perspective is the balance of the "traditional" view of simulation presented by the academic textbook against practical experience. The article perspective is a classification of papers published in four leading simulation journals in the year 2004 (ACM TOMACS, simulation, simulation modelling Practice and Theory, and simulation & Gaming). The editorial perspective is a discussion of editorial policy presented by the same journals. Our findings show that our observation is not contradicted.

A key concern for the area of discrete event simulation modelling is to encourage its adoption and use by non-specialists. To achieve this it is important that we focus on developing techniques and tools that can be used easily by people from outside the simulation modelling community. This paper explores the usefulness of one particular simulation modelling technique, hierarchical activity cycle diagrams (H-ACDs). We suggest that though H-ACDs are useful to simulation specialists, they can often be overly complex and can discourage non-specialists. We propose and develop a simplified version of H-ACDs, which we call simplified hierarchical activity cycle diagrams (SH-ACDs). We then go on to discuss the development of a simple graphical user interface which is the front-end to a modelling environment which supports the development of SH-ACDs. We discuss the way that an interface of this type can offer those without experience in simulation modelling the opportunity to develop simulations of their problem domain. We suggest that the SH-ACDs in conjunction with a suitable graphical interface can offer a potentially significant contribution by promising to open up the field of simulation modelling to non-experts.

Describes an approach to the development of computer simulations-the 'four-phase' approach-which aims to be more accessible than established approaches to non-specialist developers in manufacturing system design. This paper briefly reviews the traditional 'three-phase' approach and highlights its potential drawbacks. It then goes on to suggest that the benefit of the four-phase approach over the more established three-phase approach that it is more suited to simulations developed through iconic representations. Such representations are seen as central to the spread of simulation modelling into application domains such as manufacturing system design. The paper also suggests that complete modelling environments can be built around those iconic representations which allow the user the opportunity to concentrate on the manufacturing system's behaviour rather than on developing computer code to support the model. This is achieved by the automatic generation of the code from the iconic representation. modelling environments that provide such a focus are likely to be more usable by people without any specialist simulation background.

Netmeeting: A tool for collaborative simulation modelling

International Journal of simulation: systems, Science and Technology 2000年第1-2期1卷 59-68页

Effective collaboration in simulation modelling is possibly one of the key factors in the success of a simulation project. Computer Supported Cooperative Work is a research field that has investigated this in other domains. This field has led to the technological development of software, or groupware, to facilitate group working. This paper investigates the appropriateness of groupware in simulation modelling by introducing Microsoft’s NetMeeting, an exemplar of this technology. This groupware is discussed in terms of simulation modelling activities. A short survey of expert opinion is also presented to evaluate the usefulness of this technology. The survey shows that application sharing is clearly perceived to be the most useful feature of NetMeeting. © 2000, UK simulation Society. All right reserved.
