Abstract:
Computer hardware continues to decrease in cost and increase in power. Simulation vendors have hypothesized that this trend, together with new requirements for system integration, have produced a new business environment for discrete-event simulation all over the world. This paper, which provides an update to an earlier report, describes current trends in Japanese industry regarding the use of discrete-event simulation. The information contained in the paper was derived from interviews with many representatives of Japanese industry. It shows that, in general, this hypothesis is true in Japan.
