PARAMETER VALIDATION USING CONSTRAINT OPTIMIZATION FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION

May 11, 2009
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean, Alexander Brodsky, Paul Ammann
Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are increasingly being used to solve problems and aid decision making in many different fields. Results of simulations are expected to provide reliable information for decision makers. But potential errors may be

Simulation-based Manufacturing Interoperability Standards and Testing

January 7, 2009
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Swee K. Leong, Charles R. McLean
Software applications for manufacturing systems developed using software from different vendors typically cannot work together. Develop¬ment of custom integrations of manufacturing software incurs costs and delays that hurt industry productivity and

ER Simulation Prototypes for Incident Management Training

May 19, 2008
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean
First responders and incident management personnel need better training resources to prepare for future disasters. Live training exercises while valuable are often very expensive to organize and conduct. Training using modeling, simulation, and gaming

An Integrated Simulation Environment for Incident Management Training

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Sanjay Jain, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Guodong Shao
Simulation and gaming can support decision making through all phases of incident management including prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. A number of gaming and simulation tools have been developed for the purpose but they

A Test Implementation of the Core Manufacturing Simulation Data Specification

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Marcus Johansson, Swee K. Leong, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Frank H. Riddick, Guodong Shao, Bjoern J. Johansson, Anders Skoogh, P Klingstam
This paper describes an effort of testing the Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD) information model as a neutral data interface for a discrete event simulation model developed using Enterprise Dynamics. The implementation is based upon a model of a

Simulation Prototypes for Incident Management Training

October 1, 2006
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean
First responders and incident management personnel need better training resources to prepare for future disasters. Live training exercises while valuable are often very expensive to organize and conduct. Training using modeling, simulation, and gaming

User Interface of Simulation of the Shipbuilding Operations

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean, Swee K. Leong
This paper discusses the development of the user interface for a simulation of the shipbuilding operations. It presents an overview of a generic simulation of shipbuilding operations, the simulation system's user profiles, and the user interface screen

Prototype Implementation Based on the Machine Shop Information Model

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun Lee, Yan Luo, Guodong Shao
Interoperability between manufacturing software applications and simulation is currently extremely limited. A machine shop information model has been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a part of system

A Simulation System with Neutral Data Interface for Shipbuilding Operation

May 1, 2005
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean, Swee K. Leong
Simulation technology is underutilized in the shipbuilding industry. The development of neutral data interfaces between simulation and other software applications, could make information sharing within a shipyard more effective and efficient, and hence

Shop Data Model and Interface Specification

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Yung-Tsun Lee, Guodong Shao, Frank H. Riddick
This paper presents an information model that provides neutral data interfaces for integrating machine shop software applications with simulation. The model is presented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Manufacturing Data Validation Through Simulation

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Yung-Tsun Lee, Charles R. McLean
In order to ensure that the process plan and numerical control (NC) programs are complete and correct before jobs are released to the shop floor, manufacturing industry needs a validation system that has visualization and analysis capabilities. A prototype

A Neutral Information Model for Simulating Machine Shop Operations

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun Lee, Charles R. McLean, Guodong Shao
Small machine shops typically do not have the resources to develop custom simulations of their operations or data translators to import their data from other manufacturing software applications. This paper presents an overview of an information model

Generic Case Studies for Manufacturing Simulation Applications

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Guodong Shao
Manufacturing managers typically commission simulation case studies to support their decision-making processes. These studies are used to evaluate alternative solutions to manufacturing problems in areas such as plant layout, scheduling, capacity planning
