Discrete-Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Algorithms

这项研究计划致力于开发分析随机离散事件动态系统(DEDS)的理论和计算工具。这样的系统在分析现代制造设施、电信网络和计算/数据库机器时自然出现。它的目的是建立基本算法(主要是面向模拟的)，用于有效地对与此类系统相关的性能衡量进行数值计算。虽然主要目标是开发理论和算法工具，但预计该研究计划将开发出对应用概率、排队论和离散事件模拟做出积极贡献的理论和方法。

This research program is concerned with the development of both theoretical and computational tools for the analysis of stochastic discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS). Such systems arise naturally in the analysis of modern manufacturing facilities, telecommunications networks, and computing/database machines. It is intended to establish basic algorithms (primarily simulation- oriented) for the efficient numerical computation of performance measures associated with such systems. Although the primary goal is to develop theoretical and algorithmic tools, it is expected that the research program will develop theory and methodology that will positively contribute to applied probability, queueing theory, and discrete-event simulation.
