Appropriate use of a simulation model requires accurate measures of model performance. This in turn, requires decisions concerning three key areas: warm-up, run-length and number of replications. Simulation software, however, gives little or no guidance in making these decisions. A three year project, "Automatic Simulation Output Analysis", sponsored by the EPSRC and SIMUL8 and undertaken by Warwick Business School , is investigating the development of a methodology for automatically advising a simulation user on these three decisions.
