Journal Article
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. (2011). Towards the development of a simulator for investigating the impact of people management practices on retail performance. Journal of Simulation, 5(4), 242-265. https://doi.org/10.1057/jos.2010.20

Often models for understanding the impact of management practices on retail performance are developed under the assumption of stability, equilibrium and linearity, whereas retail operations are considered in reality to be dynamic, non-linear and comp...

Modelling electricity consumption in office buildings: an agent based approach (2011)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. (2011). Modelling electricity consumption in office buildings: an agent based approach. Energy and Buildings, 43(10), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2011.07.007

In this paper, we develop an agent-based model which integrates four important elements, i.e. organisational energy management policies/regulations, energy management technologies, electric appliances and equipment, and human behaviour, to simulate t...

A first approach on modelling staff proactiveness in retail simulation models (2011)
Journal Article
Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. (2011). A first approach on modelling staff proactiveness in retail simulation models. Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 14(2),

There has been a noticeable shift in the relative composition of the industry in the developed countries in recent years; manufacturing is decreasing while the service sector is becoming more important. However, currently most simulation models for... Read More about A first approach on modelling staff proactiveness in retail simulation models.
