Abstract
Simulation is widely used as an effective decision support tool in a variety of applications ranging from flight scheduling (Haeme, Huttinger and Shore, 1988) to knowledge-based simulations for production scheduling (Muller, Jackman and Fitzwater, 1990). This wide applicability and popularity can be attributed to the commercially available sophisticated simulation languages and packages and their flexibility in being able to interface and integrate with existing decision-making tools and techniques.
