This article presents a research focused on the Virtual Battlespace 2 scenarios development for private security industry (PSI) purposes. In the first part, the VBS2 scenario creation options are described. In the second part, a description of the scenario representing the most common workload of employees of PSI can be found. In the last part, the process of developing this scenario in 2D and ...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to provide a model for reducing outpatient waiting time by using simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A simulation model was constructed by using the data of arrival time, service time and flow of 357 patients referred to orthopedic clinic of a general teaching hospital in Tehran. The simulation model was validated before constructing different scenario...

It is becoming widely accepted that applied social simulation research is more effective if potential users and stakeholders are closely involved in model specification, design, testing and use, using the principles of participatory research. In this paper, a review of software engineering principles and accounts of the development of simulation models are used as the basis for recommendations ...

In this paper we present our ideas for conducting a cost benefit analysis by using three different methods: scenario analysis, decision trees and simulation. Then we introduce our case study and examine these methods in a real world situation. We show how these tools can be used and what the results are for each of them. Our aim is to conduct a comparison of these different probabilistic method...

In the context of the future communication system for the airport surface operations (AeroMACS), we investigate the 2×1 Alamouti scheme applied to the 802.16e standard for improving the performance of the forward link. We propose a novel space-time coding realization which preserves the original frame structure of WiMAX, analyzing its performance in a realistic airport environment. Simulation r...
