CRITERIA FOR SIMULATION SOFTWARE EVALUATION Jalal
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 presents a comprehensive list of criteria structured in a hierarchical framework for simulation software evaluation consisting of seven main groups and several subgroups. An explanation for each criterion is provided and an analysis of the usability of the proposed framework is further discussed.

متن کاملCriteria for the Evaluation of Simulation Software
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 typ...
متن کاملPattern of Decision-Making Evaluation in Urban Regeneration
Evaluation is one of the most important necessities in the process of urban regeneration, which leads to the optimal decision to solve the problem of urban inefficiency. Evaluating decisions in the urban regeneration process, given its complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty, is a critical issue that requires identifying the criteria that affect its realization and using fuzzy decision-making met...

متن کاملAn 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...
