Simulation in Japan: State-of-the-Art Update

Published

Author(s)

Shigeki Umeda, Albert W. Jones

Abstract

Computer hardware continues to decrease in cost and increase in power. Simulation vendors have hypothesized that this trend, together with new requirements for system integration, have produced a new business environment for discrete-event simulation all over the world. This paper, which provides an update to an earlier report, describes current trends in Japanese industry regarding the use of discrete-event simulation. The information contained in the paper was derived from interviews with many representatives of Japanese industry. It shows that, in general, this hypothesis is true in Japan.
