The Value of HPC and Better Simulation Models (WW)
Many service science researchers world wide are working on better simulation models of service systems and networks. Some of these models will eventually require high performance computing (HPC) systems that rival super computers used in weather prediction to produce their results. One question the community needs to be asking itself is how can the community …
