Discrete event systems (DES) have become pervasive in our daily
lives. Examples include (but are not restricted to) manufacturing
and supply chains, transportation, healthcare, call centers, and
financial engineering. However, due to their complexities that
often involve millions or even billions of events with many
variables and constraints, modeling these stochastic simulations
has long been a "hard nut to crack." The advance in available
computer technology, especially of cluster and cloud computing, has
paved the way for the realization of a number of stochastic
simulation optimization for complex discrete event systems. This
book will introduce two important techniques initially proposed and
developed by Professor Y C Ho and his team; namely perturbation
analysis and ordinal optimization for stochastic simulation
optimization, and present the state-of-the-art technology, and
their future research directions.
This timely book discusses the recent developments in maritime
logistics, an important specialized area for the global economy. It
includes issues such as the recent economic crisis, port
competition and development, and provides insights and trends
relating to these issues. Consisting of renowned researchers
worldwide, the primary objective of the book identifies some of the
new problems and challenges faced and innovative solutions to
address these problems.
