ND3 MODELING TREATING MULTIPLE SCLEROSISWITH DISEASE MODIFYING DRUGS USING DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION

Lyme Disease Using Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

Lyme Disease affects many people in the northeastern United States. One of the most important mechanisms that sustains the epidemic is the interaction between white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis). When mice move around in their territory they carry diseased ticks to new locations. Our system simulates the different developmental stages of the tick through i...

Modeling System Architecture and Resource Constraints Using Discrete-Event Simulation

Optimizing system resource utilization is a key design objective for system engineers in communications, electronics, and other industries. System resources such as processors, memory, or bandwidth on a communication bus are often shared by various components in the system. To understand the utilization of a shared resource, system engineers must do two things: identify constraints on the resou...

Modeling and Improving Emergency Department Systems using Discrete Event Simulation

This paper describes a discrete event simulation study of an emergency department at Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton (Canada). The objective of the study was to reduce patient waiting times and to improve overall service delivery and system throughput. As patient waiting times are linked to resource availability, a number of alternatives were designed based on adding resource scenario...

Modeling Cross-Docking Operations using Discrete Event Simulation

Cross-docking is a distribution system where products transported from warehouses to destinations are unloaded temporarily at intermediate facilities, and loaded onto outbound trucks to be shipped to their final destination. The complexity of cross-docking operations has been considered a problem of great interest to researchers and practitioners in the areas of Scheduling, Optimization, Supply...
