Introduction to Multi-Agent Simulation (2008)
Book Chapter
Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. (2008). Introduction to Multi-Agent Simulation. In F. Adam, & P. Humphreys (Eds.), Encyclopedia of Decision Making and Decision Support Technologies. IGI Global

When designing systems that are complex, dynamic and stochastic in nature, simulation is generally recognised as one of the best design support technologies, and a valuable aid in the strategic and tactical decision making process. A simulation model... Read More about Introduction to Multi-Agent Simulation.

Multi-Agent Simulation and Management Practices (2008)
Book Chapter
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. (2008). Multi-Agent Simulation and Management Practices. In Encyclopedia of Decision Making and Decision Support Technologies. IGI Global

Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. Agent-Based Simulation (ABS), one way of using intelligent agents, carries great potential for progressing our understanding of management practices and how they link...

Enhancing productivity: the role of management practices (2008)
Journal Article
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Battisti, G., Celia, H., Clegg, C., Fu, X., Hoyos, R. D., Iona, A., Petrescu, A., & Peixoto, A. (2008). Enhancing productivity: the role of management practices. https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1309605

There is no doubt that management practices are linked to the productivity and performance of a company. However, research findings are mixed. This paper provides a multi-disciplinary review of the current evidence of such a relationship and offers s... Read More about Enhancing productivity: the role of management practices.

An agent-based simulation of in-store customer experiences (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. An agent-based simulation of in-store customer experiences. Presented at Operational Research Society 4th Simulation Workshop, Worcestershire, UK

Agent-based modelling and simulation offers a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. In this paper we describe the development of an agent-based simulation model, designed to help to understand the relationship between human resourc...
