A Civilian Prototype Occupational Projection Model Using Arena Purchasing and Supply Group Modelling - Lessons Learned
نویسنده
چکیده
Within the Canadian Department of National Defence, a prototype civilian workforce simulation model was developed for the modelling and analysis of one particular occupational group, the Purchasing and Supply (PG) Group. The model was developed to explore workforce modelling techniques for the civilian workforce with the intention of potentially modifying it for analyses of other occupational groups, and eventually producing a generic civilian occupational group modelling capability. This paper outlines the methodology, the determination of occupational characteristics for modelling purposes, preliminary occupational analysis, lessons learned, and a possible way forward for the workforce modelling of civilian groups.

Rainfall-runoff modelling using artificial neural networks (ANNs): modelling and understanding
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools in order to model complex hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process. In many studies, ANNs have demonstrated superior results compared to alternative methods. ANNs are able to map underlying relationship between input and output data without prior understanding of the process under in...

متن کاملA model based, anatomy dependent method for ultra-fast creation of primary SPECT projections
Introduction: Monte Carlo (MC) is the most common method for simulating virtual SPECT projections. It is useful for optimizing procedures, evaluating correction algorithms and more recently image reconstruction as a forward projector in iterative algorithms; however, the main drawback of MC is its long run time. We introduced a model based method considering the eff...
