Abstract: In this paper, we consider the effect of the initial
sample size on the performance of a sequential approach that used
in selecting a good enough simulated system, when the number
of alternatives is very large. We implement a sequential approach
on M=M=1 queuing system under some parameter settings, with a
different choice of the initial sample sizes to explore the impacts on
the performance of this approach. The results show that the choice
of the initial sample size does affect the performance of our selection
approach.
