Modelling iteration in engineering design [PDF]
, 2007 This paper examines design iteration and its modelling in the simulation of New Product Development (NPD) processes. A framework comprising six perspectives of iteration is proposed and it is argued that the importance of each perspective depends upon ...

Decision makers\u27 experience of participatory dynamic simulation modelling: Methods for public health policy [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Systems science methods such as dynamic simulation modelling are well suited to address questions about public health policy as they consider the complexity, context and dynamic nature of system-wide behaviours.

Variance in System Dynamics and Agent Based Modelling Using the SIR Model of Infectious Disease [PDF]
, 2012 Classical deterministic simulations of epidemiological processes, such as those based on System Dynamics, produce a single result based on a fixed set of input parameters with no variance between simulations. Input parameters are subsequently modified on

Using Existing Network Simulators for Power-Aware Self-Organizing Wireless Sensor Network Protocols [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 In this document, we compare three existing simulation platforms (OPNET Modeler, Network Simulator 2, Georgia Tech Sensor Network Simulator). Our comparative study focuses on ease of use, scalability, ease of implementing power consumption model and physical layer modeling accuracy, mainly.

Towards an Assisted Simulation Planning for Co-Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems [PDF]
2019 7th Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical
Energy Systems (MSCPES), Montreal, QC, Canada, 2019, pp. 1-6Increasing complexity in the power system and the transformation towards a smart grid lead to the necessity of new tools and methods for the development and testing of new technologies. One testing method is co-simulation, which allows coupling simulation components from different domains to test their interaction.

A Gap between Simulation and Practice for Recursive Filters: On the State Transition Noise [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In order to evaluate and compare different recursive filters, simulation is a common tool and numerous simulation models are widely used as 'benchmark'. In the simulation, the continuous time dynamic system is converted into a discrete-time recursive system.
