Using simulation to incorporate dynamic criteria into multiple criteria decision making (2017)
Journal Article
Aickelin, U., Reps, J. M., Siebers, P., & Li, P. (2018). Using simulation to incorporate dynamic criteria into multiple criteria decision making. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 69(7), 1021-1032. https://doi.org/10.1080/01605682.2017.1410010

In this paper we present a case study demonstrating how dynamic and uncertain criteria can be incorporated into a multi-criteria analysis with the help of discrete event simulation. The simulation guided multi-criteria analysis can include both monet... Read More about Using simulation to incorporate dynamic criteria into multiple criteria decision making.

What software engineering has to offer to agent-based social simulation (2017)
Book Chapter
Siebers, P.-O., & Klügl, F. (2017). What software engineering has to offer to agent-based social simulation. In B. Edmonds, & R. Meyer (Eds.), Simulating social complexity: a handbook (81-117). ( 2nd ed.). Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-66948-9_6

© 2017, Springer International Publishing AG. In simulation projects, it is generally beneficial to have a toolset that allows following a more formal approach to system analysis, model design and model implementation. Such formal methods are develop... Read More about What software engineering has to offer to agent-based social simulation.

The Art of Iterating: Update-Strategies in Agent-Based Simulation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thaler, J., & Siebers, P. (2017). The Art of Iterating: Update-Strategies in Agent-Based Simulation

When developing a model for an Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) it is very important to select the updatestrategy which reflects the semantics of the model as simulation results can vary vastly across different update-strategies. This awareness, we claim... Read More about The Art of Iterating: Update-Strategies in Agent-Based Simulation.

A Novel Modal Shift Modelling Framework for Transport Systems (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Faboya, O. T., Siebers, P.-O., Ryan, B., & Figueredo, G. P. (2017, September). A Novel Modal Shift Modelling Framework for Transport Systems. Paper presented at Social Simulation Conference 2017 (SSC2017), Dublin, Ireland

The challenges from transport modes on human environments, health and economy, have called for investigations into how behavioural changes can be achieved for better resource utilisation. Trip makers' travel demands have been identified, and they inc... Read More about A Novel Modal Shift Modelling Framework for Transport Systems.

Towards Generalized Co-simulation of Urban Energy Systems (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, K., Siebers, P.-O., & Robinson, D. (2016, September). Towards Generalized Co-simulation of Urban Energy Systems. Presented at Urban Transitions Conference, Shanghai, September 2016, Shanghai, China

Maximizing energy conservation, improving energy efficiency and integration and control of renewable energy sources are critical in order to achieve a low carbon future. An integrated modelling system is needed to evaluate and improve energy performa... Read More about Towards Generalized Co-simulation of Urban Energy Systems.

Multi-agent stochastic simulation of occupants for building simulation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chapman, J., Siebers, P., & Robinson, D. (2017). Multi-agent stochastic simulation of occupants for building simulation.

This paper introduces a new general platform for the simulation of occupants' presence and behaviours. Called No-MASS (Nottingham Multi-Agent Stochastic Simulation platform) the platform takes a selection of well validated stochastic models to genera...
