SPSC: A New Execution Policy for Exploring Discrete-Time Stochastic Simulations

摘要

In this paper, we introduce a new method called SPSC (Simulation, Partitioning, Selection, Cloning) to estimate efficiently the probability of possible solutions in stochastic simulations. This method can be applied to any type of simulation, however it is particularly suitable for multi-agent-based simulations (MABS). Therefore, its performance is evaluated on a well-known MABS and compared to the classical approach, i.e., Monte Carlo.
