As seen infigure1,the results do not match.Present approaches to reduce simulation complexity pertain to traffic reduction[1]or abstraction of the simulation model[3].However,reducing the topology to be simulated(to reduce simulation cost)while preserving the traffic properties and metrics(in the context of TCP/IP traffic)has proven to be difficult.As will be elaborated in section3,the difficulty in reducing the topology owes much to the closed-loop nature of transport protocols employed in current communication net-works.It is inherently difficult to characterize traffic from closed-loop sources since this requires prior knowledge of measures such as packet loss ratios.The difficulty further in-creases in direct proportion to the number of bottleneck links in the network.On the other hand it has been shown in[4] that it is possible to remove high capacity nodes in an ATM network,while preserving queuing behavior at the low capac-ity nodes that are retained.In this paper we show that it is possible to reduce topologies of networks when the traffic is closed-loop in na-ture with the caveat that only certain classes of metrics are preserved as a result of the reduction.Thus,the reductions are scenario-specific since the metrics to be observed dictate the feasibility of the reduction method.We define the reductions to be scenario-specific because unlike current schemes whose feasibility is determined by the traffic in the network and net-work parameters,our methods’feasibility is dictated by the scenario or more specifically the performance measures to be determined.The outline of the paper is as follows.In section2 we present related work on approaches to reduce simulation complexity.We elaborate on the model reduction framework and a classification of network simulation scenarios in section 3.We list our topology reduction methods in section4.We present the applicability of the reduction methods on three example scenarios in section5with a discussion of the results in section6.We conclude the paper with directions for future work in section7.2Related WorkCurrent approaches to reducing run-time of simulations are hinged on abstracting or reducing some aspects of the simulation.For example,recently approaches have been sug-(a)Simulation Outcome:Original Response TimeDistribution (b)Simulation Outcome:After Removal of BottlenecksFigure1:Sensitivity of Response Time Distributions to Bot-tlenecksgested to reduce simulation run-time by scaling down the traf-fic fed to the simulator while keeping the network topology untouched[1].In addition to the traffic,the network parame-ters such as link capacities and buffers are scaled by the cor-responding factor but the number of nodes in the network remains unchanged.However,SHRINK[1]does not work for DropTail schemes in certain scenarios and its behavior in scenarios where the network composition is diverse remains unclear.Similarly RSM[2]scales down only the network pa-rameters while leaving the network traffic and topology un-touched.We have also observed that while RSM[2]preserves to some extent packet-level metrics such as queuing delay and link utilization,it fails forflow level metrics.Another approach includesfluid simulations[3]that seeks to determine network characteristics by solving a set of closely coupled differential equations.Fluid simulation methods model packet transfer asfluidflows.Thus,each connection is assumed to have a certain amount offluid to be transferred across the network.Event processing is required only when thefluid transfer is initiated or terminated and intermediate events that involve change of rate offluid transfer.Thus,thefluid abstraction obviates the necessity of simulating every single packet.Thefluid approach leads to event reduction in scenarios where network topology is moderate and dynamicity of traffic is limited.However,in cases where the topology is large or the traffic is dynamic the event rate exceeds that of the packet level simulation.This is due to the fact that dynamic traffic scenarios involve frequent rate change events when the transfer rate of aflow needs to be changed to accommodate a newflow arrival/departure or buffer overflow at the links.A rate change event at a link can trigger multiple rate changes in downstream links.This problem is exacerbated in large networks.This is referred to as the’ripple’effect[3]and is one of the main limitations of fluid simulations.It is notable thatfluid simulations are not scalable with respect to heavy web traffic and are not suitable for packet-level metrics.Note that the reduction methods dis-cussed above cannot be applied to the simulation scenarios considered in this paper.More specifically,fluid simulation techniques fail to preserve packet-level measures and are prone to ripple effects(described above)in face of heavy web traffic.Similarly,as discussed above,SHRiNK does not apply in scenarios where routers employ the DropTail scheme and RSM fails forflow-level measures.3Model Reduction FrameworkA simulation experiment can be thought to be consisting of three main aspects viz.the topology,traffic and outcome.If the topology is a router-level topology then other factors such as the queuing scheme at the links come into play as well.The outcome of the experiment could be values or distributions of specific metrics or relative ordering among various metrics among others.3.1Fine and Coarse Grained MetricsDefining a metric as a measure that is a function of the traffic and topology of the simulation experiment,we could classify metrics asfine-grained or coarse-grained.Some examples offine-grained metrics are packet-level metrics in a packet switched network such as the end-end delay(per packet), queuing delay and buffer occupancy at the routers.Some ex-amples of coarse-grained metrics are:•Response time distributions of webflows in a network with long-lived TCPflows as background traffic•The distribution of response times,number of customers in servers in Content Delivery Networks(CDN),anycast delivery network scenarios.•The query response time,rate of QueryHits in a Gnutella P2P network.•Server metrics of web servers withfinite job buffers3.2Open and Closed Loop TrafficWith the aim of reducing router-level topologies,we classify metrics relative to the traffic used in the simulation experi-ment.Thus,the traffic would dictate the feasibility of re-duction methods relative to the particular metric but the de-gree of reduction would be dictated by the topology.Within the context of the Internet we classify the traffic as closed-loop(elastic)and open-loop(inelastic).Before delving fur-ther,we outline the issues involved in reducing a topology for the above two traffic classes with respect to the corresponding metrics.First we consider the open-loop traffic scenario.Prime examples are ATM networks with voice/video traffic.It is possible to characterize the traffic as a function of time for open-loop scenarios.For example,the traffic could be char-acterized by its peak rate or the envelope.It is possible to reduce these networks and still preservefine-grained metrics such as buffer overflow probability or buffer length distribu-tion.In[5]the authors demonstrate that in a network of ATM buffers fed with open-loop traffic removal of upstream nodes with high service rates leaves the queuing behavior at down-stream nodes unchanged.However,it is not possible to apply the same to a closed-loop traffic based network.For example,we con-sider now the case of closed loop traffic where the traffic is controlled by TCP-like congestion control algorithms.In these cases it is non-trivial to obtain traffic estimate with-out the prior knowledge of measures such as drop proba-bility and round trip time.Furthermore,under this regimesources modify their sending rates in response to network conditions.Thus,unlike the above case it is non-trivial to reduce the topologies while preservingfine-grained metrics such as throughput offlows,packet loss ratio and buffer oc-cupancy at the routers.3.3Simulation Scenario ClassesWith the above as background we now move on to classify simulation experiments into four main classes.The classifica-tion will be based on traffic and observable metrics assuming that we are dealing with router level topologies.•Class1scenario consists of open-loop traffic cases.As pointed out in the discussion above,it is possible to re-duce these networks while maintaining thefidelity offine-grained metrics.Thus,the range of observable metrics under topology reduction includes bothfine-grained and coarse-grained metrics(since we expect coarse-grained metrics to hold in the face offine-grained metrics’fidelity).•Class2scenario consists of networks that use closed-loop traffic and metrics to be observed arefine-grained like packet-level metrics.•Class3scenario consists of networks that use closed-loop traffic but the metrics to be observed are coarse-grained be-sides being relatively insensitive to the closed-loop nature of the system.•Class4scenario consists of networks that use a mixture of closed-loop and open-loop traffic.The observable metrics here are not only coarse-grained metrics butfine-grained metrics pertaining to the open-loop traffic as well.The classification of simulation scenarios is summarized in Table1.The classification also applies to QoS centric exper-iments.For example,if the metric of interest is an end-to-end packet delay bound determined as a function of link utiliza-tion,then assuming TCP based traffic,this experiment falls under class2scenarios.However,if the experiment pertains to evaluation of an admission control scheme based on the number offlows then this experiment will fall under class 3scenarios.Similarly if the experiment pertains to packet scheduling schemes then since packet-level detail is central to the experiment,it falls under either class1or class2sub-ject to the input traffic being TCP or open-loop.Reduction methods for class1scenarios include[5] and[6].To the best of our knowledge there are no known reduction methods covering class2,3and4scenarios.Reduction methods for class2scenarios are non-trivial.The method would have to preservefine-grained met-rics such as packet level details.One plausible approach could be thefixed point approximation approach,whereby we aim to reduce the topology while preserving the operat-ing point of the network.However,applying this approach seems non-trivial for networks with more than one bottleneck link[7].In this work,we list several methods of topology re-duction for class3and4scenarios as per the above classifi-cation.To preserve thefidelity of these metrics we reduce the topology represented by a graph G(V,E),where V is the set of all nodes of the topology and E is the set of all the links in the topology to a reduced graph G(V ,E )where|V|>|V |and|E|>|E |.Table1:Classification of network simulation experimentsTraffic Observable metricsClass1Open-loopfine-grained,coarse-grained Class2Closed-loopfine-grainedClass3Closed-loop coarse-grainedClass4Closed-loop coarse-grainedand open-loop andfine-grained(wrt open-loop traffic)4Model Reduction MethodsIn this section,we outline different methods of reducing the topology of the network.We maintain the following invari-ants while reducing the topology.•The addition of a new link in the topology should not in-duce a new bottleneck.•The total propagation delay encountered by a packet of aflow remains unchanged.Notation We use the following notation while describingthe algorithms.•Flows belonging to the same source destination pair are classified as belonging to the same class.•P(l)={S,N1,N2,...,D}is the sequence of nodes tra-versed by the class l where S,D are the source and desti-nation nodes.•C(m,n):capacity of the bidirectional link between nodesm,n•S l(N i):for any node N i∈P(l),N i=S,D we refer toN i−1as entry point of l through N i represented by S l(N i)•D l(N i):for any node N i∈P(l),N i=S,D,N i+1is referred to as the exit point of l through N i represented byD l(N i).•C n:represents the set of allflows passing through node n.•L n:for a given node n we define the set L n as L n={m:m=S l(n)∀l∈C n}•R n:for a given node n we define set R n as R n={k:k=D l(n)∀l∈C n}•I x:For each node x of the set R n for a given node n,wedefine the set I x={m: l∈C n s.t m=S l(S l(x))}.I x represents the set of nodes that haveflows coming into x through n.•M x: i∈I x C(i,n)•Throughout the reduction process,we denote the nodes thathave been removed as marked.A set of nodes,all of whose members have not been removed is referred to as being not marked.Method-1We remove a node from the topology if the out-bound capacity exceeds the inbound capacity.The network is rewired by adding the propagation delays of the removed links.The new link has its capacity as the minimum of the previous two capacities and it’s link cost(used by the routing algorithm)is the sum of the previous two link costs.Before removing node n,we verify that the existing bottlenecks for the nodes in R n,L n are unchanged.In effect,we are remov-ing links that induce negligible queuing delay.Thus,remov-ing these nodes would have minimal effect on the class3and 4scenario metrics.We remove nodes only if for allflows passing through the node,the inbound capacity is exceeded by the outbound capacity.More formally,method-1can be described by the following pseudo-code.for each n∈V doif L n,R n not marked∧L n R n=∅thenfor each x∈R n doif M x>C(n,x)thenbreakif n’s removal modifies bottlenecks of R n,L nthenbreakfor each l∈C n doC(S l(n),D l(n))=C(S l(n),n)Add propagation delaysModify link costsRemove n and all incident linksAdd newly formed linksMark n as markedMethod-2Since class3and4scenario metrics are insensi-tive to topology reductions,reduction of the capacity of new links to be added should not induce much distortion either. The reduced capacity on the other hand results in reduced number of packet events to be processed.Now let C1and C2be the inbound and outbound capacity of aflow through a node n and C2≥C1.We apply the same method as in method-1to determine if a node n is to be removed.Then wereplace the new link’s capacity by C=(11+12)−1and it’slink cost(used by the routing algorithm)is the sum of the pre-vious two link costs.This results in the new node providing the same transmission delay per packet as the previous two nodes in succession.As in method-1,the propagation delay of the new link is the sum of the delays of the links that it replaced.We apply this method as long as the new link does not induce a new bottleneck in the topology.The reduction in number of packet events is inversely proportional to capacity of the new link.Thus,since C<C1and C<C2,the method is likely to yield more reduction in terms of numbers of events to be processed.As will be seen below,the reduction in the number of events is reflected in the loss of throughput of the long-lived closed-loop traffic.More formally,method-2can be described by the following pseudo-code.for each n∈V doif L n,R n not marked∧L n R n=∅thenfor each x∈R n doif M x>C(n,x)thenbreakfor each l∈C n doC lef f=(1C(S l(n),n)+1C(n,D l(n))−1if C lef fmodifies bottlenecks of R n,L n thenbreakfor each l∈C n doC(S l(n),D l(n))=C lef fAdd propagation delaysModify link costsRemove n and all incident linksAdd newly formed linksMark n as markedWe examine the sensitivity of packet level metrics (class2scenarios)to the reduction methods described above. In a scenario where TCP long-livedflows share the network with webflows,the throughput of one of the long-lived TCP flows was observed to be1.032Mbps.After the removal of a single node(via method-2described above),a difference of13%was observed in the throughput.After a removal of another node by method-2,the difference in throughput increased to27%.This reinforces the applicability of these methods to class3and4scenarios only.4.1Reduction methodologyThe reduction methodology is illustrated infigure2.We use the ns-2simulation script to extract the topology parameters. The parser processes the script and populates the data struc-tures such as the adjacency matrix.In addition,the cost and delay matrices are also populated with the entries correspond-ing to the link costs(used by the routing algorithm)and the propagation delays of the links.These matrices,next-hop routing matrix and the traffic specification(source-destination tuples)are used by the reduction algorithm to mark edges and nodes for removal as detailed in the pseudo-code for method-1and method-2.Note that we assumeflat routing i.e.,there is no hierarchical routing.This is necessary to ensure that the reduction algorithm preserves the propagation delay of each path in the topology.PARSERextract topologyADJACENCY MATRIXCOST MATRIXDELAY MATRIXns−2scriptextract next−hop matrix NEXT−HOPMATRIXREDUCTIONMETHOD(method−1,method−2)ns−2 scriptfor reducedtopologysource−destinationtuplesFigure2:Reduction Methodology5Class3and Class4ScenariosWe elaborate on the effectiveness of the above reduction methods while dealing with class3and4scenarios.We con-sider three example scenarios noting that the metrics of inter-est are relatively insensitive to the the closed-loop nature of background traffic.The background traffic for all the scenar-ios consists of long-lived TCPflows.The scenarios are:•Scenario A:This is a class3scenario where we study the response times of web requests.•Scenario B:This is a class3scenario where we study web servers with limited job buffers.The metric of interest is the response time distributions.•Scenario C:This is a class4scenario where we consider UDP sources in a network with background TCP traffic. The metric of interest is average one-way packet delay. 5.1The TopologyWe use the GT-ITM topology generator[8]to generate a2420 node topology with3442links.We use the transit-stub model to generate the topologies.The router buffers of the links employ the DropTail policy.The propagation delay of the links were assigned uniformly in the range of10ms to50ms. The bandwidth of the links were uniformly assigned in the range of1Mbps to500Mbps.The foreground traffic consists of HTTPflows and the background traffic consists of long-lived TCPflows.The web traffic(for scenarios A and B) is generated using the webtraf module of the ns-2network simulator.The foreground traffic for scenario C consists of UDP exponential on/off sources.5.2Scenario A:Web trafficWe study a scenario,where we are interested in the response times of the web requests in a network.In order to gener-ate traffic for the experiment,1000source-destination pairs were chosen randomly.We refer to each of these source-destination pairs as aflow.The endpoints of eachflow were designated as the server and the client.The background traf-fic consists of100,000long-lived TCPflows.For eachflow, the requests for web objects is assumed to be Poisson at the rate of20per second.The size distribution for the requests is heavy-tailed with mean3packets and shape parameter1.2. Results We compare the response time distributions of original(unscaled)and reduced simulation runs by employ-ing the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test[9].The level of signifi-canceαis assumed to be0.05.While checking for the accep-tance of the null hypothesis that the empirical distributions are the same,we also observe the value of the D-statistic. Note that the D-statistic gives us the absolute maximum dif-ference in the empirical cumulative distribution functions of the samples.We list the results in Table2andfigures3and 4.The run-time results correspond to10seconds of simula-tion time.As seen from Table2,the application of the re-duction methods distortes the mean response times by0.45% (for method-1)and0.62%(for method-2).The low values of the D-statistic indicate that the response time distributions obtained from the reduced topology simulation runs match the original response time distributions.This is reflected in figures3and4,where the response time distribution obtainedby each method is superimposed against the original response time distribution.The difference in average response times of individualflows(between the original average response timeof theflow and average response time of theflow in the scaled simulation)was also observed.The empirical probability dis-tribution of the difference in average response time of eachflow for method-1is depicted infigure5.Fromfigure5,we observe that most of theflows experience a distortion of less than3%in the average response times.Table2:Scenario A:ResultsUnscaled Method-1Method-2 Mean response time(ms)1762.191754.641751.05 D-statistic N.A0.01660.0191 Simulation Run-time(secs)459003560032400 00.0050.010.0150.020.0250.030.0350.040.04501020304050607080 ProportionofflowsResponse time (50ms units)"unscaled""method-1"Figure3:Scenario A:Response time distribution-Method1 00.0050.010.0150.020.0250.030.0350.040.04501020304050607080 ProportionofflowsResponse time(50ms units)"unscaled""method-2"Figure4:Scenario A:Response time distribution-Method25.3Scenario B:Servers withfinite job queuesIn scenario A,the web servers had zero processing overhead.In this section,we consider servers which inducefinite pro-0.050.10.150.20.250.30.350.40.450.502468101214161820P r o p o r t i o n o f f l o w sRelative Difference in Avg.

NVIDIA虚拟GPU解决方案指南:石油与天然气行业说明书
QUICKLY ACCESS MASSIVE COMPUTE RESOURCES,SECURE DATA, AND ENHANCE COLLABORATIONNVIDIA VIRTUAL GPU | INDUSTRY SOLUTION GUIDE | MAR20With new oil and gas projects costing tens of billions of dollars, decisions about where to drill and how to maximize reservoir performance must be based on expensive and sensitive data generated by the most sophisticated modeling and simulation technology available.Understanding the importance of protecting these valuable datasets, oil and gas firms have increasingly focused on better management and security, typically relying on remote systems to keep data backed up in local data centers. This creates long project load- and save-times andtethers geoscientists to traditional workstations or one-to-one data center workstations. Moreover, simulating and analyzing petabytes of data can be slow when real-time access is critical to success.NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) solutions help oil and gas firms overcome the challenges of processing, analyzing, and securing large datasets, as well as enable the migration of traditional workstations to the data center . With NVIDIA, firms can transform their IT infrastructure, maximize compute resources, and increase user mobility to stay agile in an intrinsically volatile industry that demands efficiency.VIRTUAL GPUs FOR GREATER PRECISION AND EFFICIENCYWith NVIDIA vGPU technology, end-user devices perform as well as traditional workstations and IT management is streamlined. Leading oil and gas firms around the globe trust NVIDIA ® Quadro ® Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS) software for seismic interpretation and reservoir modeling applications, while NVIDIA GRID ® software accelerates their office productivity applications and provides access anywhere, on any device.“ NVIDIA virtual GPU technology is giving our people the performance they need to do their jobs moreflexibly and effectively than ever before, and is also making it easier for us to maintain data security and overall control over our network. It’s taken us three years to get to this point, and the wait has been well worth it.”—Corey Elliot, Director of Information Technology Legacy Reserves3M ulti-GPU capabililities supported with NVIDIA Quadro vDWS software October 2018 release (aka vGPU 7.0 or later) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 and Red Hat Virtualization 4.2 or later KVM hypervisors.Provide Remote Access to Secured DataNVIDIA virtual GPU technology allows for migration of the traditionalworkstation into the data center. Not only does this reduce project load- and save-times, it also safeguards expensive and sensitive data. Geoscientists can now access files from home, at the well site, or while traveling. And geographically dispersed teams can collaborate on files without any performance degradation, confident that data is protected and that they’re working on a single master file.Speed Time to DiscoveryWith multi-GPU support for NVIDIA Quadro vDWS, a single virtual machine can harness the power of up to four NVIDIA GPUs to boost scalability for applications requiring heavy computation resources for data visualization.³ By speeding up and reducing model processing cycle times, NVIDIA helps images become clearer and sharper , faster. Calculations of seismic trace attributes and visual analysis of complex basins can now be done in real-time, which leads to more effective lease bidding, higher service revenues, and more efficient hydrocarbon discovery and recovery.Minimize Downtime and DelaysIn the oil and gas industry, every day of production represents millions of dollars in investment. NVIDIA’s industry-proven stability for both Windows and Linux drivers provides continuous uptime to minimize delays. Plus, live migration of GPU-accelerated VMs means high system availability—IT can perform critical services like workload leveling, infrastructure resilience, and server software upgrades without end-user disruption or data loss.Maximize Compute ResourcesWith NVIDIA, teams can utilize the same pool of virtual workstationresources in shifts, ensuring seismic interpretation, reservoir modeling, and engineering tasks can all be completed around the clock with no idle resources. When additional resources are needed to power compute-intensive processes like batch calculations, users can have instant access to additional compute and graphics resources with Quadro Virtual Workstation technology in the cloud.Better Utilize the Data CenterWith live migration, data center resources are always optimally distributed to improve performance and maximize ROI. During the workday, virtual desktops run workloads like seismic interpretation to streamline system functionality and provide faster data for decision-making. After hours, the same compute resources can be dedicated to completing compute-heavy tasks like seismic processing or flow simulation.Increase Scalability and ManageabilityIT administrators can set up virtual desktops for users in geographically dispersed locations in minutes. Rapid scaling of IT resources accelerates production schedules, ensuring productivity is enhanced from Day One and ongoing costs are avoided when projects are complete. Troubleshooting and upgrades can be handled remotely.TESTED AND CERTIFIED FOR ENTERPRISE CLASS RELIABILITYNVIDIA virtual GPU solutions set the industry standard for virtualized creativity. To maximize performance—and to get the best possible experience from your IT investment—NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics solutions are tested and certified by all the leading workstation OEMs and have received ISV certifications for more than 100 professional applicationsand IT management tools. What’s more, Quadro software drivers are designed for stability and long lifespans.M10 cards supporting 87 GRID vApps users. GRID vPC for VDI starts at $6 per user per month.CUSTOMER EXAMPLESLegacy Reserves LP Midland, TexasAfter rolling out virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), Legacy found that slow performance and rendering issues on applications like Spatial Energy Petra and ESRI ArcGIS prevented widespread user adoption. In response, Legacy’s IT team migrated users to virtualdesktops set up on servers equipped with NVIDIA’s virtual GPU technology. When users tried the new implementation, they discovered that performance rivaled the firm’s highest-end workstations. Legacy now experiences high user adoption, enhanced data security, and simplified IT management.Equinor Stavanger , NorwayOne of the largest oil and gas companies in the world, Equinor (formerly Statoil) deployed virtualized desktops to its exploration staff as part of an initiative to maximize efficiency across its business. NVIDIA graphics acceleration helped the firm migrate from blade servers to a fully virtualized infrastructure and run its most demanding subsurface and engineering applications from central server facilities. Today, exploration teams across 36 countries can collaborate on projects from anywhere, on any device, and the firm has realized a significant reduction in capital expenditures and operational costs.Ouro Preto Óleo e Gás Rio de Janeiro, BrazilWith geologists, geophysicists, cartographers, and engineers in multiple locations, Ouro Preto needed to virtualize 2D and 3D applications like Schlumberger Petrel and Halliburton Landmark to increase mobility and lower IT costs. Using NVIDIA virtual GPU technology, the firm was able to deliver graphics-intensive applications from the cloud to professionals out in the field on their computers, tablets, and even their cellphones. Ouro Preto teams now enjoy local workstation-like performance in the palm of their hands.KEY OIL & GAS USER GROUPSFor more information, visit /virtualgpu© 2020 NVIDIA Corporation.

This software creates virtual GPUs that let every virtual machine (VM) share the physical GPU installed on the server, or you can allocate multiple NVIDIA GPUs to a single VM to power more demanding workflows. The NVIDIA software includes a graphics driver for every VM. Quadro vDWS, for example, includes the powerful Quadro driver. Because work that was typically done by the CPU is offloaded to the GPU, the user has a much better experience, and demanding engineering and creative applications can now be supported in a virtualized and cloud environment.。
企业绩效管理【外文翻译】
外文文献翻译译文一、外文原文Corporate Performance ManagementAbstractTwo of the most important duties of a chief executive officer are (1)to formulate strategy and (2) to manage his company's performance。
In this article we examine the second of these tasks and discuss how corporate performance should be modeled and managed. We begin by considering the environment in which a company operates, which includes, besides outside stakeholders, the industry it belongs and the market it supplies,and then proceed to explain how the functioning of a company can be understood by an examination of its business, operational and performance management models. Next we describe the structure recommended by the authors for a corporate planning, control and evaluation system, the most important part of a corporate performance management system. The core component of the planning system is the corporate performance evaluation model,the structure of which is mapped into the planning system’s database, simulation models and budgeting too ls’ structures,and also used to shape information contained in the system’s products, besides being the nucleus of the language used by the system's agents to talk about corporate performance. The ontology of planning, the guiding principles of corporate planning and the history of "MADE”,the corporate performance management system discussed in this article,are reviewed next, before we proceed to discuss in detail the structural components of the corporate planning and control system introduced before. We conclude the article by listing the main steps which should be followed when implementing a performance planning, control and evaluation system for a company.1.IntroductionTwo of the most important corporate tasks for which a chief executive officer is primarily responsible are (1)to formulate strategy and (2)to manage thecompany’s performance.

因此本研究着重对消费者所关心的外卖配送服务阶段的满意度进行研究,比较符合实际情况,也更具有现实意义。
本研究从顾客对整个服务过程的感知角度,对外卖服务满意度的影响因素展开深入研究,在现今激烈的外卖O2O服务市场竞争环境下,将美国顾客满意指数( American Customer Satisfaction Index,ACSI)模型应用到外卖O2O服务方向研究上,建构我国当前外卖O2O平台服务的顾客满意度评价指标体系。
为外卖平台与线下参与商家提出具有实践性和针对性的服务评价模型,并且对其提高竞争能力提供一定的参考价值。
二、顾客满意度概念及研究(一)顾客满意度概念客户满意度是一个相对化的理念,它是指客户理想中的期望值与最终现实收获值之间的相互匹配程度,是客户在经历了无数次的购买活动中慢慢累积起来的一种相对连续性的状态,也是种经历了较长时间的沉淀所形成的情感诉求。
客户在将他们对特定产品或者是特定服务的能够感知到的效果与他们所希望的期望值进行相应对比之后,所造成的或开心或沮丧的感情状态就是客户满意度。
(二)国内研究综述早在十九世纪五十年代,管理学大师彼得·德鲁克(Peter Druker)曾指出,“企业的主要任务,利润并不是最重要的事情,而应当创造顾客满意,这是因为只有在顾客满意之后我们才能获得利润作为一种回馈。
”[2]由此得知,在企业经营管理的理念中,顾客满意策略已经存在,只不过在之前其重要性排在后面而已。
[1][3]雷飞飞(2017)总结出“客户满意度的诸多影响因素,主要包括产品和业务的设计、员工服务态度和服务水平、外卖O2O品牌和形象、配套服务设施等”。

IMS在PSTN向NGN过渡中扮演的角色抽一传统PSTN向NGN的过渡正在开始加速.IP多媒体子系统(IMS)目前被许多运营商所看好,将IMs视做过渡的关键.然而要使IMs满足固定网与移动网融合的要求和适应NGN标准的宽泛框架,还有不少标准问题需要解决.首先介绍了IMs的特点和标准开发现状,以及IMS与1rISPAN的关系.然后详细介绍了ETSI为支持PSTN向V oIP过渡而定义的两个重要业务予系统:PSTN仿真和PSTN模拟.最后提出了IMS应用到实际网络时将遇到的安全性问题.关.■一IMS,TISPAN.PSTN仿真,PSTN模拟,安全Abstract:Thetransitionpacefrom~aditionalPS1'NtoNGNisspeedingupAtpresent, manycarriersholdanoptimisticattitudetowardIPmultimediasubsystem(IMs1andtakeita8akeycomponentofthetransition.However,inordertoenableIMStosatisfythe convergenceoffLxednetworkandmobilenetwork.andkeepitinlinewiththeoverallframeworkofNGNstandardaswel1.there8re stillmanyproblemsconcerningstandardneedt0beBemed.Thisarticlefirstlyintroducesthe characteristicofIMS.thestatusquoofitS standarddevelopmentandtherelationship betweenIMSandTISPAN.Then.it introducestwoimportantservicesubsystemsfi.e.PSemulationandPS1'Nsimulation)which啪definedbyETSIforsupportingthetransitionfromP:11Nt0V olPindetail.Atlast,itputsforwardtheexistingsecurityproblemswhenappl~ngIMSinpracticalnetwork.IP多媒体子系统(IMS)目前被许多运营商看作传统PSTN向下一代网(NGN)和V oIP过渡的关键,有的把它看作"核心部件",有的把它说成"重要部件".最近几个月以来,不断有运营商开始计划IMS网络的报道,美国4大地区贝尔公司中已经有3家(SBC,BellSouth与Verizon)有所具体行动.其中,SBC是美国第一个宣布把IMS作为未来网络关键组成部分和固定移动融合工具的运营商,它计划于2006年下半年或2007年年初完成平台的部署,配合其光速计划,将在其有线和无线网络上为用户提供统一的三重业务(triple—play).虽然向NGN的过渡正在开始加速,但是要使IMS满足固定网与移动网融合的要求和适应NGN标准的宽泛架构还有不少标准工作要做.一.-MS与NGN从运营商的角度看,推动运营商向NGN和V olP过渡的动力有两部分.一部分跟降低运营成本(OPEX)以及重建现有PSTN有关;另一部分是为了让运营商能够以非常成本有效的方式开拓新的收入来源.尤其是传统运营商,面对日趋下降的电话收入,它们试图通过向NGN的过渡,充分利用目前已建的宽带网以及使用新的低成本NGN设备来替换旧的PSTN设备,以降低运营成本.当然,在向NGN过渡期间还须保证原来业务的透明性,把向NGN过渡的风险减至最小.此外,运营商还试图利用NGN来降低增加新业务的增量成本,通过固定网与移动网的融合来获得新的收入来源.目前,不少运营商把IMS看做达到上述目标的关键使能器.其中,低成本引入新业务和使固定网与移动网融合是最主要的. 只有这样,运营商才能通过IMS向用户提供更多的价值,降低运行成本,改善对用户的服务,减少用户"跳槽"的可能.同样从运营商的角度看,NGN将通过三个阶段进行演变,.■蕾盔先是降低基本业务成本,再是利用V oIP和多媒体进行业务创新,最后是向运营商提供能够利用IMS在新的市场上成功竞争的手段.-.IMS的特点与好处IMS最初是由3GPP制定的,在2002年发布了IMSRelease5.IMS被设计用于处理基于IP的业务或应用,尤其是基于会晤的实时应用.所以3GPP把IMS建立在已经广泛用于V oIP的SIP协议标准的基础上.但是,3GPP在移动领域为一些在向IP过渡时仍想保留的重要概念增加了各种扩充,包括QoS,有效处理移动无线电传送的能力以及认证和用户轮廓管理.IMS的主要目的是为用户创造和控制高价值的实时IP应用(如电话,会议,传信和多玩家游戏等)构建一个强有力的机制.IMS建立在一个分层的体系结构上,符合NGN把uteri控制与传送分离的要求,这是它的关键所在. 如图1所示,IMS有三个层面:传送层,控制层和业务层.控制层是IMS的核心.IMS通过控制层把IP 网从用户设备延伸到服务方或被叫方,同时保持与接入网类型和服务类型无关.由于与接入无关,故IMS不仅限于3G网络使用,它还可以用于传统网络和新的接入网.在IMS的控制层中有三个控制功能:会晤控制功能(CSCF),切入网关控制功能(BGCF)和媒体网关控制功能(MGCF).其中,CSCF是新创造的核心部件,它起到中央选路引擎,策略管理器和策略强化点的作用,目的是便于通过lP网来提供多个实时应用.这一功能是应用感知的,使用动态的会晤信息来管理网络资源(包括特色服务器,媒体网关和边缘设备)以及根据每一应用和用户的情况来提前分配这些资源.BGCF和MGCF未示于图1,前者位于IMS 域与外部网络的分界点,在PSTN将要切人时为会晤选择网络;后者提供与PSTN互通或与3GPP电路交换侧互通的信令.图1中的归属用户服务器(HSS)也是一个新的关键部件.它对每一用户的业务相关数据提供开放接人,支持多种业务之间的数据(如目前状态等)共享,有利于创新并可以解决一系列业务逻辑交互问题.早先的业务体系结构,如高级智能网(AIN)等,图1IMS分层体系结构是无法做到这些的.HSS非常灵活,支持各种前端(如Web,电话,SMS和机顶盒等)对用户数据的开放读/写接入.HSS使网络通过IMS开发和部署新业务的能力有了很大的提高,也使网络首次有了能让不同应用服务器共享用户数据的开放接口.这些数据包括用户定购的是什么业务,它们处在什么激活状态以及为了控制它们用户设置了什么参数. 在业务层,3GPP定义了各种应用服务器,包括基于SIP的应用服务器和传统应用服务器.IMS的应用体系结构是相当复杂的,但关键是它允许存在很多的灵活性,有了这些灵活性,就可以用不同的应用服务器来生成业务.另外,IMS还可以综合传统的业务.例如,消息传送环境可以与传统话音服务特点,如回叫或呼叫等待等综合在一起.这样就可以把传统的环境和服务经验与新的应用结合在一起,真正实现未来的V olP战略.归纳起来,IMS会给运营商带来以下好处:引入了把传送,控制与应用分开的分层结构;与接人无关,允许运营商把固定网与移动网融合起来;可提供具有QoS,安全性,计费以及其他电信公司所需重要功能的实时IP应用;.可提供把不同应用的特点结合在一起的各种新应用,如网络游戏等;可更快,更低成本地提供更多的应用,而且同时保留对QoS,计费和收入的控制;可以逐步部署,不必采取昂贵的重叠方式,传黔耍牙≯g0—0一囊j¨.叠00搿i■碧_一誊ll_季孽辑澎臻一,覃了再算霉零瓣碧黪≯1'_曩嚣岱—----—_??—?-——————_u譬|||誓|}组织网络类型名称状态会晤初始协议(SIP),SIP于1999年初获得批准;IETF与3GPP在IMS方面IETF任何IP网Diameter紧密合作最先在3GPPRelease5中定义;在Release6中细化;3GPPUMTS移动网;将延伸至其他接入网IP多媒体子系统(IMS)现正在制订Release73GPP2cdma2000移动网;将延伸至其他接入网多媒体域(MMD)对照3GPP而制定;可与3GPPIMS互操作CableLabs电缆IP网PacketCable2.0预期IMS将形成基于SIP的控制层核心ETSI下一代固定网TISPANReleaseI于2005年12月批准.主要基于IMSATIS北美固定网NGN主要基于TISPANITU下一代固定网ITUSG13NGN很大程度上基于TISPAN的工作OMA所有移动网OMAPOC聚焦于业务的标准定义来源:HeavyReading.2005统网络中的接入资源,应用和用户可被继续利用.三JMS标灌支持IMS吸引了各标准组织的广泛关注,尤其是关于它在向NGN过渡中的角色.表1列出了一些主要的标准组织,其中有专门围绕IMS工作的组织,也有工作内容与IMS相关的组织.历史上,3GPP与IETF关系紧密,二者一起为IMS的基本框架进行标准化工作.它们的工作成果后来为3GPP2所用,用于cdma2000多媒体域.Ca—bleLabs将在它基于SIP的控制层核心中使用IMS. ETSI把IMS用作TISPANNGN体系结构的基础,旨在为所有基于NGN的电信业务提供统一的结构.由于ITU和美国的A TIS也把它们自己的NGN体系结构建立在TISPAN工作成果的基础上,故TISPAN的工作成果有可能成为未来NGN的业务体系结构.所以,了解TIASPAN及其与IMS的关系是十分重要的. 四JMS与TISPANTISPAN是Telecommunicati0nsandInternetSer—vicesandProtocolsforAdvancedNetworking的缩写.为了避免重复工作,TISPAN基本上把IMS用于ETS1所定义的"会话"业务,尤其是任何SIP型的呼叫会晤.为了更好地满足目前正运行PSTN和宽带DSL的传统运营商向NGN过渡的需要,TISPAN在IMS中加入了一系列子系统.IMS显然是ETsI希望实现的NGN的核心.TISPAN将会发布若干版本,版本1已于2005年12月获准发布.TISPAN的参考体系结构相当复杂,与NGN广泛相关,不仅仅是增加IMS功能而已,如图2所示.类似1MS,TISPAN也是一个分层结构,但划分得要更细—些.在图2中,最终用户位于左边,固定无线接入网与公共IP核心传送网(传送层面)位于底部.右边是网间接口和网关(只示出了PSTN).上面是业务控制层面,其中针对不同的业务类型有不同的控制层.例如,对软交换有PSTN仿真子系统,对IMS业务有IMS子系统.中间是资源和准用控制功能,用于控制提供给各种不同业务的容量.另外还有网络属性子系统,用于用户认证和应急呼叫位置数据以及其他. 把IMS延伸到固定网的TISPAN可以被看做IMS版本不断发展的一部分.IMS版本5包括移动接入,版本6增加了无线LAN接入,目前的版本7 (相当于TISPAN版本1)又增加了固定网.版本7只增加了两个对固定网很重要的功能:网络屙I生,它基本上意味着"你是谁?",这对固定线路是必需的,因为它没有能识别用户的SIM卡;资源准用,为了支持会晤而在固定网中预留资源.由于IMs从移动网延伸到固定网,利用了IMS整个标准化工作的95%,因此可以确保它形成的是适合于未来固定与移动走向融合的一个环境.五.PSTN仿真PSTN横瓤从话音业务的角度讲,PSTN向NGN的过渡即意味着向V oIP的过渡.为此,ETSI定义了两个重要的业务子系统,即PSTN仿真子系统和PSTN模拟子系统.它们的定义分别是:利用在IP接口和基础设施的会晤控制来提供类似PSTN/ISDN的业务能力;利用对IP基础设施的适配来提供PSTN/IS—DN的业务能力和接口.PSTN仿真的概念是在NGN内生成与PSTN效果相同的业务,具有相同的业务特点,这意味着就最终用户而言什么也没变.相反,PSTN模拟所提供的业务看起来像PSTN或ISDN业务,但并不是在所有方面都像.例如,它可以使用各种新的终端类型提供新的增值特点,但它也许不能提供某些老的特点.模拟比完全复制旧环境更有利于向NGN环境演进.重要的是,仿真与模拟之间的差别为运营商的NGN过渡策略提供了一种选择.在做出选择时,关键因素是运营商所处的竞争状况.这里并非强调有两个系统,也非强调有两种结构,关键在于何时引入何种V oIP能力最有利.模拟和仿真都是IMS的一部分, 运营商何时引入何种V oIP显然与运营商的竞争地位和市场相关,也与现有PSTN的状态与行为相关.当运营商面临激烈竞争和在其宽带业务捆绑中包括V oIP 的需求压力很大时,PSTN模拟是较好的选择,因为可以对这种强势需求做出迅速响应,在新的演进中的多媒体市场中确立地位.相反,当竞争压力不大,运营商的主要兴趣是用低成本NGN来提供话音业务时,那么PSTN仿真更合适.1MS是对电话基础设施进行现代化改造所需的体系结构.通常,网络的过渡应比端点从POTS向IP的过渡快许多.所以,作为内在的一个功能,IMS支持PSTN仿真十分重要.PSTN仿真与PSTN模拟的实现并非易事.对PSTN仿真而言,PSTN的业务逻辑必须分布在PSTN 接入适配功能与PSTN仿真服务器之间.由于PSTN 有100多个业务特点,因此需要复杂的SIP呼叫流程.对于简单的呼叫建立,把PSTN信令映射到SIP中去还比较容易,但想用SIP信令来仿真全部的标准PSTN业务则很困难.主要问题之一是PSTN与SIP在体系结构上不匹配.PSTN采用激发/响应协议,终端是完全傻的,所有智能都在网络之中.相反, SIP是对等会晤控制协议,终端将是高度智能的,能够完成呼叫处理,而网络也许相对笨一些.所以,事实上,目前广泛使用的PSTN业务基本上依靠集中的智能,而无法利用终端里的智能来实现.IMs没有为最基本的呼叫业务定义SIP呼叫流程.但IETF则在这方面开展了较多的活动,有许多文件都是讨论基本呼叫业务的SIP呼叫流程,只不过目前还没有形成标准.困难在于不同的SIP端点(包括IAD,模拟电话适配器,SIP电话以及最近的宽带环路载波)支持业务特点的方法有很大的差异, 故不得不靠应用服务器来处理.例如,拍叉簧信号处理是PSTN信令的一个重要方面,呼叫转移和三方通话等业务都需要这种功能.如果SIP端点不进行拍叉簧信号处理和会晤操作,那么这些端点只是送出一个SIP消息,表示拍叉簧已发生,并让应用服务器去处理.IETF目前正在试图开发在SIP端点上对拍叉簧信号进行处理的功能,但这一功能的开发是有相当难度的.要获得成功,就需要在接人设备供应商和软交换设备供应商之间开展紧密合作.现在这一问题正在通过合作予以解决,相信PSTN仿真一定会得到IMS核心网的支持.PSTN模拟并不包括全部的PSTN业务特点,同时还具备生成新业务和新业务特点的灵活性,但目前也面临端点与网络交互作用方面的呼叫控制问题.我们知道,企业用户是目前典型的用户.虽然SIP企业电话具有许多本机的业务智能,但仍需要与网络中的许多智能结合起来.有许多企业业务特点,如寻线组等,都不能单独在电话机内实现.对于许多其他业务特点,对于在什么地方,如何实施业务逻辑也有许多不同观点.这可能导致在实施这些特点的细节上有很大的不同.例如,请勿打扰特点可以用拒绝呼叫和呼叫转移两种方法来实现,这对于大的企业用户来说是不能接受的,他们希望获得一致的,可预见的业务特性.因此,为了对业务进行规格化以及保证用户获得一致的,可预见的业务体验,的确需要把话机智能与网络智能相结合.在网络演进过程中,可以把PSTN仿真与PSTN模拟一起放在网络里.仿真用于把用户的主要PSTN业务逐渐演进为低成本NGN,模拟则用来向日益增加的多媒体用户提供与宽带捆绑的次要话音业务.在这两种情况中,IMS都将扮演重要的角色. 但如何在运营商的网络中实现IMS,目前在运营商与设备商之间仍存在着争议.争议之一是,是否要具有完全仿真的业务,把所有传统的业务特点都带人提供仿真业务的IMS,提供百分之百相同的业务.另一问题是,如何保证IMS电话不仅对SIP是相同的,而且对移动也是相同的.ETSI和3GPP都在制订使用PSTN模拟的标准化电话方式,力图让运营商尽可能多地利用其现有的接人基础设施,能够按照灵活替换和有序的策略去尽可能多地保护已有投资,使运营商具有在它们的接人环境中引人必要网关功能与中继网关功能的灵活性,以便把传统世界与新的IMS世界结合在一起,更好地适应各种情况.穴.曩安全有关的两大问■虽然IMS取得了不少进展,但当应用到实际网络时在标准方面仍有明显的不足.两个最主要的问题是跟会晤边界控制(SBC)和应急业务相关的安全陛.SBC 对固定网而言,是—仁常重要的功能.为了保护网络不被滥用,以及处理用户网络中NA T防火墙的穿越和支持呼叫合法截获的要求,都需要这一功能.至今在IMS标准中尚未充分认识到这种安全性风险,在3GPP的IMS规范中甚至没有提及SBC. 目前规范中的Proxy—CSCF最接近等效于SBC,但Proxy—CSCF为了针对信令过载对网络进行保护,不受IMS规范的控制.对这种安全性的忽视也许是因为当初认为想注人恶意信令的PC机难以接人3G移动网,或者认为IMS不需要解决SBC要处理的其他各种问题,如处理NA T防火墙穿越问题.用于V olP的应急呼叫也是运营商非常关注的一个安全性问题,目前也没有规范好.对于应急呼叫,必须提供关于呼叫来自何处的地理位置信息.在PSTN中,这很容易做到,因为位置由电话号码定义.但在V olP中,这涉及网络属性功能(NAF)子系统进入的地方以及检索位置信息和注册IP地址的地方.第二个关键要求是回叫能力.在PSTN中,这很简单,因为主叫线路标识可以给出回叫固定号码.但V olP如何实现回叫还没有标准化.不过,TISPAN并没有忘记跟管制相关的一系列安全l生与法律要求.例如,Ell2应急呼叫,恶意电话识别和匿名电话拒绝;提供确认的位置信息;支持固定线路的识别以及3GPPIMS型用户识别;允许NA T和防火墙存在于接入网用户驻地;满足管理和运行需求(包括计费和结算)等.TISPAN现正在引导这方面的标准制订工作.向收稿日期:2005—12—29。
Viking Yacht Company的Autodesk解决方案的应用说明书
Project SummaryA family-owned company established by brothers Bill and Bob Healey in 1964, Viking Yacht Company (Viking) produces luxurious, high-performance sport and cruising yachts up to 82 feet long. With the Autodesk ® solution for Digital Prototyping, Viking is streamlining its design and production pro c esses. Viking designers use Autodesk ® Alias software to develop conceptual designs with Class A surfaces. Viking’s engineering teams incorporate this design data into their Autodesk ® Inventor ® models, which are accurate 3D digital prototypes. Autodesk ® Showcase ® lets Viking generate realistic renderings from digital prototypes, facilitating faster design reviews. All teams manage and track components for digital prototypes using Autodesk ® Vault Manufacturing. Thanks to the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, Viking has been able to:• Save substantial time and money in physical prototyping costs• Complete important design tasks twice as fast • Reduce errors and manual rework, speeding production cycle time• Improve data accuracy, security, and accessThe ChallengeAn industry leader, Viking delivers high-quality luxury yachts and great customer service. The company designs and manufactures 90 percent of the items in its yachts, ensuring excellence from bow to stern. For its most demanding customers, Viking produces semi-custom boats.With six production lines, Viking can build up to 100 boats a year from 42 to 82 feet. Viking yachts are stylish, fast, price-competitive, and safe. They effectively compete with boats from custombuilders that produce only two to four yachts a year. Viking is counting on its streamlined, Autodesksoftware-powered design and production processes to help maintain its competitive edge. “We need to complete boats faster, more economically, and with higher quality than the competition,” explains Kurt Bender, CAD manager, design and engineering at Viking. “Success depends on quick and effective design and manufacturing.”Cruising in 3D luxury.Viking Yacht Company speeds ahead with the Autodesk ®solution for DigitalPrototyping.The SolutionViking has been transitioning to the Autodesk solu t ion for Digital Prototyping for several yearsto meet its business needs. Recently, the pace of migration has increased rapidly. “People began to realize how much time Alias and Inventor software would save them, and the transition took off,” says Bender. “In a relatively short time, we’ve turned more than 30 2D CAD users into trained Inventor experts.”Faster Conceptual DesignsToday, Viking designers rely on Alias software to conceptualize designs and create surfaces. “Many of our new models, like the 76C, utilize all the programs associated with the Autodesk digital workflow,” says Bender. “And it starts with Alias.”At a project’s inception, designers use Alias software to develop Class A surfacing for hulls. Viking imme d iately noticed a difference. “We used to depend on extensive hand fairing to address surface flaws,” says Bender. “But now, our Alias surfaces are so precise that we are able to eliminate a substantial amount of time required to work the tools. By using Alias software, we’re cutting our turnaround time on projects tremendously—which helps us get to market faster.”Easier ChangesAutodesk Alias software has also sped up design changes for Viking. In pursuit of design excellence, Viking routinely puts designs through manyitera t ions. In the past, one change could mean 40 hours of design rework. Now, design changes no longer require such time-intensive manual work.“Before when we had a change, we had to redomost of the surfaces from scratch,” explainsJamie Scherer, CAD Designer in the design andengineering department at Viking. “With Alias, thesurfaces adjust automati c ally. Instead of taking 40or more hours of work, Alias software lets us makechanges in as little as an hour.”Digital Prototypes Streamline DesignWhen a concept model is ready, Viking easily movesit from Autodesk Alias into Autodesk Inventorsoftware. Then engineers create a digital prototypefor use in every stage of production. “We areclosing the gap between design, engineering, andmanufacturing,” says Bender. “Our digital prototypegives everyone a better understanding of howthings fit together.”Before moving to Inventor software, Vikingde s igned components—such as couches,staterooms, and cabinetry—as 2D polygon lines. “Itwas hard to check interferences before production,”notes Scherer. “By moving to digital prototypes,we can visualize the space better and checkinterferences ahead of time. We are much moreefficient in fixing problems on the shop floor.”Digital Prototyping also speeds collaboration acrossViking’s production team. “We used to try andcollaborate around D-size prints posted arounda conference room,” says Bender “Now, we havea digital prototype we can turn around, spin, andvisualize accurately. We even include productionsupervisors in reviews so they can spot issues thatmay slow production.”Adds Scherer: “Our digital prototypes not only helpour teams proactively create better designs, theyare having a real impact on reducing errors we oncecaught only in production.”Automating Manual Design TasksAutodesk Inventor Professional is also helpingViking complete designs faster and with fewererrors by automating many routine design tasks,such as routing hoses, pipes, and cables throughouta yacht. For example, Viking no longer must handmeasure cable and wire lengths, a time-consumingand error-prone process.“We had no way to design tube and pipe layoutsin our former 2D CAD software and had difficultygenerating wire lengths,” says Scherer. “Inventorlets us clearly, quickly, and accurately determine thelengths of pipes, wires, and cables, even when theyfollow nonlinear surfaces.”Simulation AnalysisThe digital prototypes Viking creates in AutodeskInventor help the company maximize yacht speedand performance. “After engineers locate allcom p onents inside a vessel, we can assign weightsand masses to get a center of gravity and weightfor the boat,” says Scherer. “This allows us to adjustengine position to control the plane of the yachtand achieve an optimum running angle.”With Alias, Viking can make changes to surfaces up to 40 times faster.Viking is also using the finite element analysis (FEA) capabilities in Autodesk Inventor Professional to minimize the weight of some components. “Running stress analysis on our projects helps identify areas where we may be able to trim weight,” says Bender. “Every pound we drop contributes to boat performance.”Managing Data Effectively with Vault ManufacturingViking had struggled with data management for some time, with the engineering department devot i ng significant time to finding drawings for sales and service personnel. “It was clearly time to solve our data management problem, so we turned to Autodesk Vault Manufacturing,” says Scherer. Autodesk Vault Manufacturing software securely stores and manages data in a central location, helping teams quickly create, share, and reuse digital prototyping information. “Vault Manufacturing keeps track of our data,” says Bender. “So even our sales and service people can find the informationthey need.”In addition, Vault Manufacturing is secure and closely controls versions of designs. “In the past, we struggled to track the latest files,” explains Bender. “Now, the files are located in one place, and everyone must check drawings in and out. There may be 100 versions of one file, but we all know which is the most up-to-date.”“We love using Vault Manufacturing,” adds Bender. “It’s a whole new world—and it’s cut our data manage m ent time in half.”Sharing Visualizations with ShowcaseTo bring digital prototypes to life, Viking uses Autodesk Showcase visualization software. The company no longer spends hours enhancingren d erings with graphic design software; it can now quickly create lifelike visualizations directly from digital prototypes.The company is developing its own environments in Showcase, so it can show the boats as they will appear in the water. “Customers can view our models as they will look in the New Jersey basin or the tropics,” says Scherer. “We can zoom around the boat and use the output to make a movie. Our marketing team is really excited about Showcase because it adds wow to their efforts. They even say you can smell the salt air!”Scherer points to the ambient occlusion feature thatproduces realistic shadows as critical to creatinga lifelike visualization. “With other renderingpackages, you just don’t get that kind of realism,” hesays. “Showcase really gets it right.”Viking also benefits from the seamlessinteroper a bility between Showcase and Alias.Before, Viking had to redo renderings every timethere was a change to the digital model. Now, whenchanges are made to a design, Viking can simplyload the new Alias model into Showcase and thevisualization updates automatically. “We’re savingso much time, it’s unbelievable,” says Scherer.The ResultWith its all-Autodesk digital pipeline, everyone atViking is able to work off a single digital model.“Collaboration is so much easier, and our Autodesksolution helps us achieve faster design times andfewer errors,” says Bender. “It’s even helping oursupplier relationships. Instead of our suppliersviewing a demo boat, we can send them digitalfiles to design around. That means they can getparts done faster so they’re less likely to hold upproduction.”Autodesk Inventor is speeding up the design cycleby automating many manual tasks and allowingViking’s designers to reuse standard components.Synergis EngineeringDesign Solutions, anAutodesk PremierSolutions Provider,has helped Vikingmake the transitionto the most advancedAutodesk software.“They’ve supported usvery well with softwareimplementationsand training,” saysKurt Bender. “TheSynergis team is bothknowledgeable andvery helpful. The Vikingemployees they’ve trainedhave nothing but positivefeedback.”Images courtesy of Viking Yacht Company.Autodesk, Alias, Autodesk Inventor, Inventor, and Showcase are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries.

Exercise 5: Window Impact.In this exercise, we simulate the impact of a 2”x4” beam upon an impact resistant window. In coastal areas that are prone to hurricane damage, windows such as these are used to minimize possible damage from air-borne debris. The image below illustrates the analysis setup.A 2”x4” beam is given an initial velocity of 60mph and directed towards the window. Ideally, the beam will bounce off the window with little or no damage. However, as will be seen in this analysis, this is a difficult proposition that requires a great deal of engineering effort. There are many possible variations on the impact. The beam may be tumbling or rolling. It may also impact the window at a wide range of angles. A tool such as Ansys/LS-Dyna allows the analysis of a large combination of variables without resorting to expensive and time-consuming testing.It is important to remember that the proper design of these windows can greatly help prevent the loss of life or property during a hurricane.The mesh used in this example is illustrated below.Summary of Steps:1.

SPEEDING UP CALL CENTER SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION BY MARKOV CHAIN UNIFORMIZATION
ABSTRACT Staffing and scheduling optimization in large multiskill call centers is time-consuming, mainly because it requires lengthy simulations to evaluate performance measures and their sensitivity. Simplified models that provide tractable formulas are unrealistic in general. In this paper we explore an intermediate solution, based on an approximate continuous-time Markov chain model of the call center. This model is more accurate than the commonly used approximations, and yet can be simulated faster than a more realistic simulation (based on non-exponential distributions and additional details). To speed up the simulation, we uniformize the Markov chain and simulate only its discretetime version. We show how performance measures such as the fraction of calls of each type answered within a given waiting time limit can be recovered from this simulation, how to synchronize common random numbers in this setting, and how to use this in the first phase of an optimization algorithm based on the cutting plane method. We also discuss various implementation issues and provide empirical results. 1 INTRODUCTION
Telephone call centers, and more generally contact centers where mail, fax, e-mail, and Internet contacts are handled in addition to telephone calls, are important components of large organizations (Aks ¸in, Armony, and Mehrotra 2007, Gans, Koole, and Mandelbaum 2003). Specifying the number and types of agents who handle the calls, and the working schedules of these agents, under constraints on the quality of service and on admissible schedules, is one of the main optimization problems encountered in managing these centers. Large call centers are complex stochastic systems that can be analyzed realistically only by simulation; tractable queueing models oversimplify reality and are not very reliable. When simulation is combined with an optimization algorithm, its
efficiency is a key issue, because optimization often requires thousands of simulation runs at different parameter settings (Cez ¸ ik and L’Ecuyer 2008, Avramidis, Gendreau, L’Ecuyer, and Pisacane 2007b, Avramidis, Gendreau, L’Ecuyer, and Pisacane 2007a). A common workaround for this problem is to use approximation formulas during the first steps of the optimization process, and then refine the solution using simulation. However, these approximations are so rough for complex models with multiple types of calls and agents that they may lead to highly-suboptimal or even infeasible solutions (Avramidis, Chan, and L’Ecuyer 2008). One possible compromise, explored in this paper, is to model the system as a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) that can be simulated faster than a detailed (more realistic) discrete-event simulation model. Speedup can be achieved by uniformizing the CTMC and simulating only the embedded discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) instead of the CTMC. Simulation must be used because this chain has an enormous complicated state space and evolves in non-stationary mode. The uniformization often increases the average transition rate significantly if done in straightforward way, and this could wipe out the performance gain, but our implementation uses an adaptive state-dependent uniformization scheme that addresses this issue. For each realization of the DTMC, performance measures are estimated by computing their conditional expectation given the DTMC and its number of steps. This quick (simplified) simulation model is used in the first stage of a staffing optimization procedure, whose second stage uses detailed simulation of a more realistic model for fine tuning of the solution. We give illustrations for a multiskill center over a single time period. The technique can be extended to cover multiple periods with different parameters. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. The next section provides a brief description of multiskill call centers and the staffing optimization problem in these centers. Section 3 explains how a CTMC can be simulated efficiently over a finite horizon by simulating the embed-
