Unplanned disruptive events and disturbances such as arrivals of rush orders or machine breakdowns must be managed locally to avoid propagating the effects along the value chain. To overcome the traditional separation between ...

In this work, we present preliminary results of our research on the construction of an agent-based simulation framework suitable to support the analysis of complex supply chain interactions as the one required for the ...

In this research we propose an approach for the construction of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models integrated with Agent Based Simulation (ABS) to improve the representation of production systems in a simulation ...

Agent-based Models (ABM) are gaining importance over traditional epidemiological modeling due to advances in computing technology and by the need for detailed epidemiological analysis of emergent diseases. Unfortunately, ...

Complex emergent and adaptive systems raise modeling challenges that cannot always be faced through mathematical modeling. The agent-based simulation is a simulation technique of socio-technical systems that allows modeling ...

Computer based models describing pedestrian behaviour in an emergency evacuation play a vital role in the development of active strategies that minimise the evacuation time when a closed area, with a relatively small number ...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of reducing errors in management accounting systems with respect to organizational performance. In particular, different basic design options of management accounting systems of ...
