Multiscale simulation models, in particular, couple together modeling elements from different scales of description.
But some simulation models are hybrids of different kinds of modeling methods.
"It is not going to miss the city entirely," Mr. Knight said, citing data from six computer simulation models.
The authors of the administration report relied on what was essentially a merging of two greenhouse simulation models that disagree on many points.
The I.B.M. researchers produce high-resolution forecasts twice a day, both for prospective customers and for their own analysis as they increase the power of their simulation models.
In China, I.B.M. worked with the China Ocean Shipping Company, a big international shipper, using optimization and simulation models to consolidate 100 distribution centers into 40.
Visitor management for some situations can be aided by use of computer-generated simulation models.
