Criteria for the Evaluation of Simulation Software
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This chapter gives a number of criteria that can be used for the evaluation of simulation software. According to Law and Kelton (1991), simulation software can be classified as simulation languages and simulators. However, in this study the term ‘simulation software’ is mainly used for discussing data driven simulators, and all criteria are derived and described from the perspective of this type of simulation software. On the other hand, some of the criteria (e.g. criteria related to user support or financial and technical features) might also be used for the evaluation of simulation languages, and this was the main reason why the more general expression ‘simulation software’ has been used.

An integrated simulation-DEA approach to multi-criteria ranking of scenarios for execution of operations in a construction project
The purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. This paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (DES) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to rank different scena...

متن کاملEvaluation and Ranking of Discrete Simulation Tools
In studying through simulation, choosing an appropriate tool/language would be a difficult task because many of them are available. On the other hand, few research works focus on evaluation of simulation tools/languages and their comparison. This paper makes a couple of evaluations and ranks more than fifty simulation tools that are currently available. The first evaluation and ranking is in th...

متن کاملCRITERIA FOR SIMULATION SOFTWARE EVALUATION Jalal
In simulation software selection problems, packages are evaluated either on their own merits or in comparison with other packages. In either method, a list of criteria for evaluation of simulation software is essential for proper selection. Although various simulation software evaluation checklists do exist, there are differences in the lists provided and the terminologies used. This paper pres...
