“…The CE technique can only be applied when the service time of the customer in process follows an exponential distribution (see Section 6.2 for more details); (4) we want to estimate the expected time to failure of a complex system that consists of several dependent components with various degradation mechanisms. The application of CE seems possible only when the component degradation is not observed or not evident in some system scenarios (Zille, Bérenguer, Grall, & Despujols, ).…”

In the past several decades, many ranking‐and‐selection (R&S) procedures have been developed to select the best simulated system with the largest (or smallest) mean performance measure from a finite number of alternatives. A major issue to address in these R&S problems is to balance the trade‐off between the effectiveness (ie, making a correct selection with a high probability) and the efficiency (ie, using a small total number of observations). In this paper, we take a frequentist's point of view by setting a predetermined probability of correct selection while trying to reduce the total sample size, that is, to improve the efficiency but also maintain the effectiveness. In particular, in order to achieve this goal, we investigate combining various variance reduction techniques into the fully sequential framework, resulting in different R&S procedures with either finite‐time or asymptotic statistical validity. Extensive numerical experiments show great improvement in the efficiency of our proposed procedures as compared with several existing procedures.

“…Additionally, the analysis of large systems/processes using Markov approaches results in cumbersome and error-prone models. However, PN models have been found to be able to model complex systems/processes with dynamic characteristics without suffering the state-space explosion as happens in Markov models [1].…”

“…However, alternative simulation approaches have been developed, such as the encoding of the statespace model in a Petri Net (PN) that can cope with all the aforementioned limitations (Zille et al 2010). PN models are powerful, flexible structures that can be applied to complex cases without suffering the state-space explosion limitation.…”
