Tactical Network Modeller Simulation Tool Combined discrete event and network back-ends

چکیده
This paper discusses the implementation of a tactical network simulation tool. The tool is called Tactical Network Modeller (TNM). TNM uses some novel techniques to simplify the building of the network model using graph theory constrained by a hierarchical tree which reflects the organisation structure. TNM allows models to be constructed using an Application Programming Interface (API) or a node based User Interface (UI). When the model is constructed, different simulation back-ends can be applied to it. A discrete event simulation and a network emulation back-end are implemented building on top of open source tools. TNM is simple to create models for non technical users. The model can be used to analyse information flows. The same model can be used for a full network emulation. This allows real software and protocols to be tested in a realistic simulated environment. The flexibility of the software allows its use from engineering up to campaign planning. Keywords—C4I; tactical; communications; simulation

Optimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach
Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...
