STUDENTS TRAINING: INTEGRATED MODELS FOR SIMULATING A CONTAINER TERMINAL, F. Longo
The research work proposed in this paper focalizes on students education and training to Modeling & Simulation principles by considering the model implementation of a real system, in particular a container terminal. Each group of students (five different groups) has developed the simulation model of a specific container terminal operative section, choosing input parameters and performance measures. The five simulation models have been combined to form a single simulation model capable of recreating the complex and stochastic environment of a container terminal. At last an application example has been developed for transmitting to students the sharp concepts as well as techniques to be applied to analyze complex systems.
DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION FOR TRAINING IN RIVER LOGISTICS, Davide Modula, Attilio Rocca, Alberto Tremori
This research project has the target to develop a distributed simulation for training in fluvial network, to teach the operating people to pilot boats used also for the transport of dangerous goods. This simulator is based on High Level Architecture (HLA) a standard from USA Department of Defense (DoD) that allows different simulators to cooperate through distributed networks. This technology makes the simulators able to be configured for very complex missions that make training more valuable being more similar to reality.
SIMULATION MODELING ANALYSIS OF THE LOGISTIC IN A TELEMEDICINE SYSTEM FOR ISOLATED COMMUNITIES IN MEXICO, Erik Jayme, Francisco Cabadas, Juan Pablo Rojas, Isis Castillo, Francisco J. Ruiz-Sánchez
In this paper we present a simulation modeling analysis of a telemedicine system implemented in Mexico to serve isolated rural communities. Our analysis determines parameters to evaluate the performance of the system, identifies the main problems that affect its efficiency and study some logistic strategies to improve its performance. This last, based on criteria of more and better attention to the users with an optimal use of human resources and facilities. We introduce our model with a brief description of the telemedicine system implemented to serve two communities in Mexico, Tequila and Arandas, and we describe its architecture giving the main facts we considered in its construction. We include simulation results obtained by implementing logistic strategies to improve the performance of the system. The methodology established in this work is intended to be useful to determine the best politics to implement telemedicine services all over the country. This project was realized by the students as a part of the Industrial Projects course with full involvement of the Telemedicine program at the Anahuac University.
