5 G54SIM ( 5
6 Processes Problem formulation (problem structuring / definition) Communicated problem is rarely clear, specific, or organized Initially communicated problem is translated into a formulated problem sufficiently well defined to enable specific research action Investigation of Solution Techniques Sometimes communicated problem is formulated under the influence of a solution technique in mind Important to identify all alternative techniques that can be used in solving the formulated problem Chosen technique needs to be a sufficiently credible one which will be accepted and used by the decision maker(s) G54SIM ( 6
7 G54SIM ( 7
8 Processes System investigation Process of investigating the characteristics of the system that contains the formulated problem (for consideration in system definition and modelling) Change characteristics: How often and how much the real system will change during the course of a simulation study Environment characteristics: Consists of all input variables that can significantly affect its state Counterintuitive behaviour characteristics: Some systems may show counterintuitive behaviour which we should try to identify for consideration in the model G54SIM ( 8
9 Processes System investigation (cont.) Drift to low performance characteristics: A system may show a drift to low performance due to the deterioration of its components over a period of time Interdependency and organisation characteristics: In a complex system, many activities or events take place simultaneously and influence each other; needs to be examined before abstracting the real system for the purpose of modelling; decomposing the system into subsystems and subsystems into sub-subsystems G54SIM ( 9
10 G54SIM ( 10
11 Processes Model formulation Process by which a conceptual model is envisioned to represent the system under study Robinson (2004): "The conceptual model is a non-software specific description of a simulation model describing the objectives, inputs, outputs, content, assumptions and simplification of the model" Input data analysis and modelling SDS: Model driven by rate changes defined through differential equations DES and ABS: Model driven by input values obtained via sampling from probability distributions G54SIM ( 11
12 Processes Model Representation Process of translating the conceptual model into a communicative model (representation which can be communicated to other humans) Typical representation formats: SDM: Causal loop diagrams, stock and flow diagrams DEM: Flow charts, activity cycle diagrams ABM: UML (14 types of diagrams) + AgentUML Specific mechanisms: Pseudo-code Criteria for selection: Applicability for describing the system under study Technical background of the people to whom the model is communicated Translatability into a programmed model G54SIM ( 12

16 Processes Programming Nowadays mainly Visual Interactive Modelling Systems (VIMS) Software: SDS: Dynamo, ithink/stella, PowerSim, Vensim,... DES: Arena, SimIO, Simul8, Witness, ProModel, Extend, FlexSim,... ABS: AnyLogic, many academic tools focusing on specific research areas Programming languages: GPSS, SIMAN, SIMSCRIPT, SIMULA, SLAM,... Survey available at OR/MS website (latest version from October 2011) G54SIM ( 16
17 G54SIM ( 17
18 Processes Design of experiment Process of formulating a plan to gather the desired information at minimal cost and to enable the analyst to draw valid inferences Obtaining accurate results Run conditions: Warm up period, number of replications, run length Variance reduction techniques: Obtain greater statistical accuracy for the same amount of simulation runs Searching the solution space Response-surface methodologies: Find the optimal combination of parameter values which maximize or minimize the value of a response variable Factorial designs: Determine the effect of various input variables on a response variable Ranking and selection techniques: comparing alternative systems G54SIM ( 18
19 Processes Experimentation What-if analysis Making changes to the model s inputs, running the model, inspecting the results, learning from the results, making changes to the model s inputs... Different purposes of experimentation Comparison of different operating policies, evaluation of system behaviour, sensitivity analysis, forecasting, optimisation, determination of functional relations Output analysis (for stochastic simulation) Analysis of results from single scenario (mean and standard deviation) Comparing alternative scenarios (using confidence intervals to test difference between results from two scenarios) G54SIM ( 19
20 Processes Histograms of the same mean but different levels of variability Robinson (2004) G54SIM ( 20
21 G54SIM ( 21
22 Processes Redefinition Maintaining the model for further use Updating the model so that it represents the current form of the system Altering it for obtaining another set of results Presentation of simulation results Process of interpreting simulation results and presenting them to the decision makers for their acceptance and implementation Implementation: Putting the solution into practice Implementing the model Implementation as a learning aid G54SIM ( 22
23 Verification and Validation Verification and validation are continuous processes that are performed throughout the life cycle of the simulation study Verification is substantiating that the simulation model has been transformed from one form into another as intended with sufficient accuracy Validation is substantiating that the simulation model, within its domain of applicability, behaves with satisfactory accuracy consistent with the study objectives G54SIM ( 23
