International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling (IJSPM), Vol. 6, No. 2, 2010

Abstract: In this paper we first review the key literature on seaport simulation and simulation model validation techniques. Then we study the validation of a seaport simulation model, namely the port of Alexandria, Egypt. One of the most important techniques is to build a regression metamodel that represents the relationship between the model inputs and model outputs. We prove that the simulation model is valid. The output of this study is a decision-support model that will form the base of a decision-support system that can be used by management to improve the decision-making process.
