  text: "The analysis of production systems by the use of discrete, event-based simulation
    is widely used and accepted as decision support method. It aims either at the
    comparison of competitive designs or the identification of a “best possible” configuration
    of the simulation model. Here, combinatorial techniques of simulation and optimization
    methods support the user in finding optimal solutions, which typically result
    in long computation times and though often prohibit a practical application in
    today’s industry. This paper presents a fast converging procedure as a combination
    of a swarm heuristic, namely the particle swarm optimization, and the material
    flow simulation to close this gap. Faster convergence is realized by a specific
    extension of classic PSO implementations. First results show the applicability
    with a simulation reference model.\r\n"
