Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The weather is unpredictable and can have a large impact on the profitability of seasonal businesses, particularly if staffing requirements are highly temperature-dependent. In this paper we describe our efforts in developing a what-if analysis tool... Read More about Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers.

Modelling the Effect of Individual Differences in Punishment Sensitivity on Behaviour in a Public Goods Game (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Previous research on social dilemmas demonstrated that various forms of punishment for free-riding can increase contribution levels in public goods games. The way individual group members react to the possibility of punishment can be also affected by...

Modelling and simulation of rail passengers to evaluate methods to reduce dwell times (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The paper outlines a feasibility study using modelling and simulation to reduce dwell times and increase rail network capacity. We use agent based modelling, where passengers are treated as a separate entities, basing their movements on rules from th...
