Abstract:
Although simulation is a commonly used approach for system' performance
evaluation, not enough consideration is usually given in analyzing the
simulation output. However, the queuing network simulation is not only
a representation of the dynamic behavior of a system, but is is basically
a stochastic process whose output has to be statistically analyzed. In
this talk, the most important techniques for confidence interval generation
and advanced sensitivity analysis, will be reviewed. The two predominant
parallel discrete event execution mechanisms will be also presented and
the talk will close with a discussion of how parallel computing power can
be effectively used in simulation output analysis.
