Simulation modeling and optimization using ProModel
Authors: Charles R. Harrell, Rochelle N. Price
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The ProModel Optimization Suite is a powerful yet easy-to-use simulation tool for modeling all types of manufacturing systems ranging from small job shops and machining cells to large mass production, flexible manufacturing systems, and supply chain systems. ProModel is a Windows based application with an intuitive graphical interface and object-oriented modeling constructs that eliminate the need for programming. It combines the flexibility of a general-purpose simulation language with the convenience of a data-driven simulator. The ProModel Optimization Suite includes an optimization tool called SimRunner that performs sophisticated "what-if" analysis by running automatic factorial design of experiments on the model, providing the best answer possible. This paper provides an overview of the ProModel Optimization Suite and presents its modeling, analysis, and optimization capabilities.
Descriptive Approach to Language - Theoretic Complexity
Authors: James Rogers
Venue:  (1998)

:Early formal specifications of natural language syntax were quite closely connected to the notion of abstract machines for computing them. More recently, this approach has been superseded by one in which languages are specified in terms of systems of constraints on the structure of their sentences. This book presents a natural and quite general means of expressing constraints on the structure of trees and shows that the languages that can be specified by systems of such constraints are exactly those computable by a particular standard class of abstract machines.
DITA XML: a reuse by reference architecture for technical documentation
Authors: Michael Priestley
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture is an XML architecture for producing and reusing technical information. DITA promises the following:Scalable reuse, so you can reuse content in any number of delivery contexts simultaneously without complicating the sourceDescriptive markup, so you can use markup that describes your information in terms your customers needInterchangeability, so you can treat specialized markup as if it were general, getting reuse of tools and processes defined at more general levels of descriptivenessProcess inheritance, so you can reuse existing process logic in your specialized processes.It accomplishes these goals by applying the principle of reuse by reference to the dimensions of content, design, and process within a technical communications workflow.

Tabu Search, 1st edition
Authors: Fred Glover
Venue:  (1998)

:This book explores the meta-heuristics approach called tabu search, which is dramatically changing our ability to solve a hostof problems that stretch over the realms of resource planning,telecommunications, VLSI design, financial analysis, scheduling, spaceplanning, energy distribution, molecular engineering, logistics,pattern classification, flexible manufacturing, waste management,mineral exploration, biomedical analysis, environmental conservationand scores of other problems. The major ideas of tabu search arepresented with examples that show their relevance to multipleapplications. Numerous illustrations and diagrams are used to clarifyprinciples that deserve emphasis, and that have not always been wellunderstood or applied. The book's goal is to provide ''hands-on' knowledge and insight alike, rather than to focus exclusively eitheron computational recipes or on abstract themes. This book is designedto be useful and accessible to researchers and practitioners inmanagement science, industrial engineering, economics, and computerscience. It can appropriately be used as a textbook in a masterscourse or in a doctoral seminar. Because of its emphasis on presentingideas through illustrations and diagrams, and on identifyingassociated practical applications, it can also be used as asupplementary text in upper division undergraduate courses. Finally, there are many more applications of tabu search than canpossibly be covered in a single book, and new ones are emerging everyday. The book's goal is to provide a grounding in the essential ideasof tabu search that will allow readers to create successfulapplications of their own. Along with the essentialideas,understanding of advanced issues is provided, enabling researchers togo beyond today's developments and create the methods of tomorrow.
SQL database primitives for decision tree classifiers
Authors: Kai-Uwe Sattler, Oliver Dunemann
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Scalable data mining in large databases is one of today's challenges to database technologies. Thus, substantial effort is dedicated to a tight coupling of database and data mining systems leading to database primitives supporting data mining tasks. In order to support a wide range of tasks and to be of general usage these primitives should be rather building blocks than implementations of specific algorithms. In this paper, we describe primitives for building and applying decision tree classifiers. Based on the analysis of available algorithms and previous work in this area we have identified operations which are useful for a number of classification algorithms. We discuss the implementation of these primitives on top of a commercial DBMS and present experimental results demonstrating the performance benefit.

Statistical Language Learning
Authors: Eugene Charniak
Venue:  (1994)

:Eugene Charniak breaks new ground in artificial intelligence research by presenting statistical language processing from an artificial intelligence point of view in a text for researchers and scientists with a traditional computer science background. New, exacting empirical methods are needed to break the deadlock in such areas of artificial intelligence as robotics, knowledge representation, machine learning, machine translation, and natural language processing (NLP). It is time, Charniak observes, to switch paradigms. This text introduces statistical language processing techniques -- word tagging, parsing with probabilistic context free grammars, grammar induction, syntactic disambiguation, semantic word classes, word-sense disambiguation -- along with the underlying mathematics and chapter exercises. Charniak points out that as a method of attacking NLP problems, the statistical approach has several advantages. It is grounded in real text and therefore promises to produce usable results, and it offers an obvious way to approach learning: "one simply gathers statistics." Language, Speech, and Communication
Component-based product line engineering with UML
Authors: Colin Atkinson, Joachim Bayer, Christian Bunse, Erik Kamsties, Oliver Laitenberger, Roland Laqua, Dirk Muthig, Barbara Paech, Jürgen Wüst, Jörg Zettel
Venue:  (2002)

Component-based development promises to revolutionize the way in which software is developed and maintained. However, contemporary component technologies, such as COM+/.NET, EJB/J2EE and CORBA, only support components in the final, implementation-oriented stages of development, leaving the earlier stages of analysis and design to be organized in largely traditional, non-component oriented ways. This book describes the KobrA method, which supports a model-driven, UML-based representation of components, and a product line approach to their development and evolution. This enables the benefits of component-based development to be realized throughout the software life-cycle, and allows the reusability of components to be significantly enhanced.

Efficient incremental view maintenance in data warehouses
Authors: Ki Yong Lee, Jin Hyun Son, Myoung Ho Kim
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

In the data warehouse environment, the concept of a materialized view is nowadays common and important in an objective of efficiently supporting OLAP query processing. Materialized views are generally derived from select-project-join of several base relations. These materialized views need to be updated when the base relations change. Since the propagation of updates to the views may impose a significant overhead, it is very important to update the warehouse views efficiently. Though various view maintenance strategies have been discussed so far, they typically require too much access to base relations, resulting in the performance degradation.In this paper we propose an efficient incremental view maintenance strategy called delta propagation that can minimize the total size of base relations accessed by analyzing the properties of base relations. We first define the delta expression and a delta propagation tree which are core concepts of the strategy. Then, a dynamic programming algorithm that can find the optimal delta expression are proposed. We also present various experimental results that show the usefulness and efficiency of the strategy.
Simulation in Manufacturing
Authors: Norman Thomson
Venue:  (1996)

:Simulation software tools have changed from special purpose programming languages to interactive PC systems one of which, called AIM, was developed by the Pritsker Corporation in alliance with IBM and is highlighted in this book for allowing simulation modellers to speak in manufacturing rather than computer terms. The book gives a balanced account of various skills which the practising simulation analyst must possess for successful modelling, regardless of which system is employed. As well as modelling itself, these include aspects of statistics, queuing theory and experimentation to which suitable references for deeper study are given.

Simulation curriculum: a model curriculum in modeling and simulation: do we need it? can we do it?
Authors: Roy E. Crosbie
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

An international debate on the need for a model curriculum for graduate programs in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) continues to grow. As the use of M&S continues to expand to new application areas, and its importance as a key enabling technology in the 21st century continues to be recognized, many questions are being asked by both universities and corporations concerning the proper basis and content for advanced studies in M&S.Corporations and government bodies are experiencing rising demands for new recruits with broad exposure to the concepts and methodologies of M&S and capable of contributing to the increasingly important M&S activities within the organization. Many recruiters are, however, frustrated in their efforts to define productive sources in US universities that meet these needs.

Adapting XP to complex application domains
Authors: Martin Lippert, Stefan Roock
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th European software engineering conference held jointly with 9th ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2001)

Extreme programming (XP) works well for small software projects in not-too-complex application domains. In many of these projects the rather simple requirements engineering of XP (customers write story cards) has proved suitable. But today we are more often faced with complex application domains in which the classical XP techniques will not suffice. The tutorial shows how to adapt extreme programming to complex application domains and to demanding development tasks. We focus mainly on the requirements engineering part and show how to enhance XP with interviews, scenarios and system visions. We also integrate the management perspective into the "planning game" reconciling this perspective to users' needs. We propose a set of best-practice methods we have used in a number of industrial high-risk projects for different complex application domains.
Product-mix analysis with Discrete Event Simulation
Authors: Raid Al-Aomar
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has been used as a design and validation tool in various production and business applications. DES can also be utilized for analyzing the product-mix for production planning and scheduling. Product-mix decisions using analytical methods such as Linear Programming (LP) are usually made so that the market demand is met and the firm profit is maximized. However, the complexity and stochastic and dynamic nature of real-world production and business systems may lead to production levels that are different from those determined by analytical methods. Also, coping with the dynamic changes in the product-mix usually requires enhancing system parameters and/or process configuration. Therefore, its in some cases essential to conduct the product-mix analysis using a DES model that accounts for the complexity and stochastic and dynamic behavior of real-world systems. Utilizing DES to measure the system response to potential changes in product-mix is necessary to arrive at a flexible system configuration that is adaptable to dynamic changes in the product-mix. Therefore, the primary goals of this paper are to highlight the importance of analyzing the product-mix with DES, present a methodology for performing the analysis, and provide a case study to clarify the methodology.
