Human Behavious Modelling for Discrete Event and Agent Based Simulation: A Case Study
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Majid, M., Aickelin, U., & Siebers, P.-O. Human Behavious Modelling for Discrete Event and Agent Based Simulation: A Case Study. Presented at Annual Operational Research Conference 49 (OR 49)

This study is about the comparison of simulation techniques between Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS). DES is one of the best-known types of simulation techniques in Operational Research. Recently, there has been an e...

A Multi-Agent Simulation of Retail Management Practices
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. A Multi-Agent Simulation of Retail Management Practices. Presented at Proceedings of the Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC 2007)

We apply Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relationship between human resource management practices and retail productivity. Despite the fac...

Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Menachof, D., & Sherman, G. Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline. Presented at 2009 INFORMS Simulation Society Research Workshop: Simulation: At the Interface of Modeling and Analysis

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea
and air ports is unknown as no benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturer benchmarks exist for individual sensors but we have not found any benchmarks that tak... Read More about Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline.

Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Majid, M. A., Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation. Presented at Operational Research Society 5th Simulation Workshop (SW10)

This research investigated the simulation model behaviour of a traditional and combined discrete event as well as agent based simulation models when modelling human reactive and proactive behaviour in human centric complex systems. A
departmental st... Read More about Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation.
