@inproceedings{lotsize05,
  abstract = {Capacity planning in existing semiconductor assembly and test operation is usually done in weekly buckets, and incoming customer orders are checked “capable-to-promise” against these weekly buckets. Consequently, delivery of a customer order on a specific date can be ensured only if they are planned for in the previous planning week. The overall leadtime from customer order
processing to final delivery can amount to more than six weeks. Significant leadtime reduction can be made through moving from
weekly to daily planning buckets. At the same time, in the hyper-complex, make-to-order environment of the assembly and test
manufacturing process, where order quantities are not necessarily a multiple of the optimal lot sizes due to customer order
constraints, the issue of lot sizing has become even more critical than before. In this paper, we investigate the issue of lot sizing and the impact of planning bucket on the order fulfillment rate of the backend operation. A simulation model based on actual factory data is constructed and experiments were carried out to determine the best lot size to use for the factory as well as to evaluate the impact of switching from a weekly to a daily planning bucket.},

Emergent behavior is that which is not attributed to any individual (agent), but is a global outcome of individual (agent) 	 
coordination. While agent’s degree of autonomy and responsibility will continue to increase with time, the impact of emergent behavior in agent system on the performance and stability of these systems become an important issue. We found that emergent behavior is a major concern of potential users while we try to apply agent technology to such industry areas as transportation planning and logistics coordination. To really make agent technology work in industry convincingly, it is valuable to do a study of emergent behaviour and its impacts to the application of agent technology. This paper reviews the research on emergent behaviour, discuss its research challenge and application impact, and suggest research directions on 	 
agent emergent behaviour.},

  abstract = {Supply-chains are large systems consisting of many components interacting in complex ways. The challenge faced by companies is how to design and manage such systems. Modeling and simulation enables analysis of complex systems but as the model increases in size and realism, a distribution capability is needed. While the High Level Architecture provides the infrastructure
needed for large-scale distributed simulation, it does not have a mechanism to coordinate the configuration and invocation of geographically distributed models through a single point of access. This capability is provided by Web services. By publishing the HLA-based simulation models of their enterprise as Web services, companies can critically compare customized supply-chain scenarios by configuring, executing and analyzing the corresponding distributed
simulations. This paper describes an approach that uses Web services and Business Process Execution Language to support the business process (discovery, configuration, deployment and execution) of carrying out large-scale distributed simulations using the HLA framework.},

  abstract = {For many years discrete-event simulation has been used to analyze production and logistics problems in manufacturing and defense. In the early 1980s, visual interactive modelling environments were created that supported the development, experimentation and visualization of simulation models. Today these environments are termed Commercial-off-the-shelf Simulation Packages (CSPs). With the advent of distributed simulation and, later, the High Level Architecture, the possibility existed to link together these CSPs and their models to simulate larger problems within enterprises (e.g. multiple production lines) and across supply chains. However, the problem of standardizing the use of the HLA and its constituent parts in this domain exists. The solution of this problem is the work of the CSP Interoperability Product Development Group (CSPI PDG). The purpose of this paper is to introduce the CSPI PDG and to review the suite of standards proposed by the group and current progress.},

@article{hllaclone-tomacs,
  abstract = {Distributed simulation cloning technology is designed to analyze alternative scenarios of a distributed
simulation concurrently within the same execution session. One important goal is to optimize
execution by avoiding repeated computation among independent scenarios. Our research
is concerned with the cloning of High Level Architecture (HLA)-based distributed simulations; a
federate may spawn clones to explore different scenarios at a decision point. This article introduces
the cloning mechanism and the supporting infrastructure. When enabling cloning, our approach
ensures the state consistency and supports user transparency and reusability of federate codes.
When a federate clones, it is desirable to replicate only those federates whose states will be affected
while the rest are shared among the old and new scenarios. This article discusses the theory and
issues involved in such an incremental cloning mechanism, which guarantees accurate sharing and
initiates cloning only when absolutely necessary. Experiments have been carried out to compare the
performance of entire cloning and incremental cloning mechanisms. Experimental results indicate
that the proposed approach provides correct cloning and can significantly reduce the execution time
for evaluating different scenarios of a distributed simulation. Moreover the incremental cloning
mechanism significantly surpasses entire cloning in terms of execution efficiency.},

  abstract = {This paper reports on the progress made toward the
emergence of standards to support the integration of heterogeneous discrete-event simulations (DESs) created in specialist support tools called commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) discrete-event simulation packages (CSPs). The general standard for heterogeneous integration in this area has been developed from research in distributed simulation and is the IEEE 1516 standard The High Level Architecture (HLA). However, the specific needs of heterogeneous CSP integration require that the HLA is augmented by additional complementary standards. These are the suite of CSP interoperability (CSPI) standards being developed under the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO—http://www.sisostds.org) by the CSPI Product Development Group (CSPI-PDG). The suite consists of several interoperability reference models (IRMs) that outline different integration needs of CSPI, interoperability frameworks (IFs) that define the HLA-based solution to each IRM, appropriate data exchange representations to specify the data exchanged in an IF, and benchmarks termed CSP emulators (CSPEs). This paper contributes to the development of the Type I IF that is intended to represent the HLA-based solution to the problem outlined by the Type I IRM (asynchronous entity passing) by developing the entity transfer specification (ETS) data exchange representation. The use of the ETS in an illustrative case study implemented using a prototype CSPE is shown. This case study also allows us to highlight the importance of event granularity and lookahead in the performance and development of the Type I IF, and to discuss possible methods to automate the capture of appropriate values of lookahead.},
