The field of Supply Chain Management (SCM ) is experiencing rapid strides in the use Industry 4.0 technologies and conceptualization new supply chain configurations for online retail, sustainable green chains, Circular Economy. Thus, there an increasing impetus to simulation techniques such as discrete-event simulation, agent-based hybrid context SCM. In conventional underlying constituents sys...

We consider the problem of distributed source simulation with no communication, in which Alice and Bob observe sequences $U^{n}$ notation="LaTeX">$V^{n}$ respectively, drawn from a joint distribution notation="LaTeX">$p_{UV}^ {\otimes...

The development of many complex simulation applications requires collaborative effort from researchers with different domain knowledge and expertise, possibly at different locations. These simulation systems often require huge computing resources and data sets, which may be geographically distributed. In order to support collaborative model development and to cater for the increasing complexity...

Simultaneous events are the events scheduled to occur at the same simulation time. This paper proposes a new event ordering mechanism for handling simultaneous events of DEVS models in distributed simulation. The DEVS formalism provides a formal framework for specifying discrete event models in a modular, hierarchical form. Thus, the formalism can ease the model verification and validation prob...

The theory of distributed detection is receiving a lot of attention. A common assumption used in previous studies is the conditional independence of the observations. In this paper, the optimization of local decision rules for distributed detection networks with correlated observations is considered. We focus on presenting the detection theory for parallel distributed detection networks with fi...

The operation of Fuel Cell Distributed Generation (FCDG) systems in distribution systems is introduced by modeling, controller design, and simulation study of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) distributed generation (DG) system. The physical model of the fuel cell stack and dynamic models of power conditioning units are described. Then, suitable control architecture based on fuzzy logic contro...
