Proceedings of the 2015 Winter Simulation Conference

In the simulation-on-demand paradigm, we invest computational effort by running a simulation experiment before a question is asked, and then we quickly provide an answer by making use of the results of the earlier simulation experiment. This can be done by building a metamodel, but standard metamodeling methods used in stochastic simulation have the disadvantage that they require validation. We...

Proceedings of the 2015 Winter Simulation Conference

Stochastic simulation is driven by the input model, which is a collection of distributions that model the randomness in the system. The input model is often constructed from data, and hence input uncertainty arises due to the finiteness of data. Simulation optimization has been mostly studied under the assumption of a known input model, without accounting for input uncertainty. We propose a new...

2015 SWAT4LS International Conference Editorial

SWAT4LS 2015 had two excellent keynotes. The first was from Bijan Parsia, of the University of Manchester, on "Representing all clinical knowledge" and the second was from Melissa Haendel, of Oregon Health and Science University, and was about "Envisioning a world where everyone helps solve disease". The conference programme, together with slides, is available on the SWAT4LS 2015 conference Web...
