Toward a synthetic economic systems modeling tool for sustainable exploitation of ecosystems

A Petri-net based modeling tool, for analysis and evaluation of computer systems

Petri net is one of the most popular methods in modeling and evaluation of concurrent and event-based systems. Different tools have been created to support modeling and simulation of different extensions of Petri net in different applications. Each tool supports some extensions and some features. In this work a Petri net based modeling and evaluation tool is presented that not only supports dif...

Sustainable Economic Systems

Toward the Specification and Design of Industrial Synthetic Ecosystems

Many agent-based systems rely for their effectiveness on the intelligence of individual agents, and interaction among agents is required simply to coordinate these individually complex decisions. Specification and design methods for such systems focus on the internal architecture of individual agents. An alternative approach, “Synthetic Ecosystems,” uses relatively simple agents and draws heavi...

Environmental problems indicator under environmental modeling toward sustainable development

This research aims to apply a model to the study and analysis of environmental and natural resource costs created in supply chains of goods and services produced in Thailand, and propose indicators for environmental problem management, caused by goods and services production, based on concepts of sustainable production and consumer behavior. The research showed that the highest environmental co...

A Comprehensive Framework in Sustainability Assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems

Introduction Lack of a comprehensive framework is one of the most important challenges in sustainability assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems. This is the reason of tunnel vision in many researches in the field of sustainability. The history of Agricultural Exploitation Systems in Iran is back to thousands years ago, when ancient Iranian tried to domesticate wild animals and cerea...
