Business process modeling (BPM) has proven itself as a useful technique for capturing the work practice in companies. In this paper, we focus on its usage in the domain of company simulation and we present a novel approach combining the clarity of BPM with the strength of agent-based simulations. We describe the enhancement of a general process modeling language, the algorithm transforming thes...

Well-developed strategic marketing planning is the essential prerequisite for establishment of the right and unique competitive advantage. Typical market, however, is a heterogeneous and decentralized structure with natural involvement of individual or group subjectivity and irrationality. These features cannot be fully expressed with one-shot rigorous formal models based on, e.g. mathematics, ...

The current object-oriented development practice system analysis is documented through UML artifacts such as Class and Sequence diagrams. Since UML is a widely accepted modeling language, it also would be desirable to offer a UML support for the representation of agent-based system analysis artifacts. Although some central UML constructs are suitably matched for agent-based modeling, several im...

in current work a comprehensive mechanism based on intermediate radical termination theory is assumed for raft polymerization of styrene over cumyl dithiobenzoate as raft agent. rate constants for addition (ka) and fragmentation reactions (kf) are set to 6×106 and 5×104 respectively, which lead to an equilibrium constant value of k = ka/kf = 1.2 x 102. moment equations method was used to model ...
