(Web Site) Abstract

In this chapter we are interested in employing crisp simulation methods using (a) conventional package(s) to perform fuzzy calculations that involve (restricted) fuzzy arithmetic. The main fuzzy application employs (fuzzy) arrival/service rates to model a (fuzzy) queuing system for web design. We first review fuzzy calculations and then present our simulation results. The simulation results confer on us a great ``speed-up" of going from initial data collection to the optimization models for web research. These results imply that crisp simulation might be useful in doing fuzzy calculations in other fuzzy models. We continue this topic in the next chapter where we employ fuzzy probabilities in the model.
