Simulation techniques are becoming essential in the modeling and analysis of complex systems. Research works are being carried out in the field of Discrete-Event Simulation, continuous System Dynamics simulation and Hybrid modeling. Primary areas of application are in manufacturing systems and supply chains, with potential applications in other areas. Framework and infrastructure for enabling distributed simulation is also developed using High Level Architecture (HLA) and Web Services.
Recent and ongoing works include production and distribution planning in supply chains using hybrid models; simulation-optimization; interface specifications and statistical data analysis in distributed simulation; control theoretic analysis of supply chains; dynamics of internal and external disturbances on supply chains behavior.
