Experimental studies in real-time, Monte Carlo simulation

Several research concerns resulting from experiments in real-time Monte Carlo simulation are presented. An overview of the computational processes used in the experimental study, a definition for the system state and state transition mechanism, and the performance measures considered are given. The statistical concerns that arise in the analysis of transient phenomena are discussed. The method of statistical analysis incorporated is reported. Research concerns associated with the process are discussed. Future research concerns are related, and current research efforts are summarized. In particular, the development of graphical interfaces to assist the decision maker in the analysis of the real-time data are discussed.<
