There was one in SCS "Simulation" like about 1986, but there was a big
debate if the Mt Carlo made a difference. If you bug me a few days
from now, I might dig up a PL/I test program I wrote with the article
refs embedded in it.

Perhaps it can be understood by looking at a related area: In chosing
PDE solution points, Mt Carlo is said to be more effective because
beyond two dimensions, rectangularisation is inefficient. IBM's
million-dollar Simulation Blaster works along those lines by providing
a file of non-random best sampling points so you don't have to use Mt Carlo.
