Towards the development of a simulator for investigating the impact of people management practices on retail performance (2011)
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...

A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, T., Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. (2011, September). A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK. Presented at Energy and People: Futures, Complexity and Challenges, Oxford, UK

This paper reviews major studies in three traditional lines of research in residential energy consumption in the UK, i.e. economic/infrastructure, behaviour, and load profiling. Based on the review the paper proposes a three-dimensional model for arc...

Modelling electricity consumption in office buildings: an agent based approach (2011)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Siebers, P.-O., & 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...

Systems dynamics or agent-based modelling for immune simulation? (2011)
Book Chapter
Figueredo, G. P., Aickelin, U., & Siebers, P. (2011). Systems dynamics or agent-based modelling for immune simulation?. In P. Liò, G. Nicosia, & T. Stibor (Eds.), Artificial immune systems: 10th international conference, ICARIS 2011, Cambridge, UK, July 18-21, 2011: proceedings. Springer

In immune system simulation there are two competing simulation approaches: System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) and Agent-Based Simulation (ABS). In the literature there is little guidance on how to choose the best approach for a specific immune problem.... Read More about Systems dynamics or agent-based modelling for immune simulation?.

A first approach on modelling staff proactiveness in retail simulation models (2011)
Journal Article
Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. (2011). A first approach on modelling staff proactiveness in retail simulation models. Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 14(2), https://doi.org/10.18564/jasss.1760

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.
