Terrain modelling and rendering is an important aspect of modern computer games, computer generated scene rendering in movies and is also used in scientific simulations and geographic modelling. Rendering a planetary surface without polar geometry issues has long been a difficult problem, and this is exacerbated when simulation models need approximately smooth and equal areas. We have developed...

In this paper, we introduce the GAMA (Gis & Agent-based Modelling Architecture) simulation platform, which aims at providing field experts, modellers, and computer scientists with a complete modelling and simulation development environment for building spatially explicit multi-agent simulations. The most important requirements of spatially explicit multi-agent simulations that our platform fulf...

objective: to systematically review the current literature of simulation in healthcare including the structured steps in the emergency healthcare sector by proposing a framework for simulation in the emergency department. methods: for the purpose of collecting the data, pubmed and acm databases were used between the years 2003 and 2013. the inclusion criteria were to select english-written arti...

Computer simulation of tra c is a widely used method in research of tra c modelling, planning and development of tra c networks and systems. Vehicular tra c systems are of growing concern and interest globally and modelling arbitrarily complex tra c systems is a hard problem. In this article we review some of the tra c simulation software applications, their features and characteristics as well...

This paper explores the contribution and the influence of system dynamics in the development of management and organisation theory. It begins with a brief discussion of the contribution of computer modelling and simulation in theory development for the above areas. It then discusses the practice of management theory development from the sociology of science perspective using Bourdieu’s concepts...

Agent-based systems are increasingly being applied in a wide range of areas including telecommunications, business process modelling, computer games, control of mobile robots and military simulations. Such systems are typically extremely complex and it is often useful to be able to simulate an agentbased system to learn more about its behaviour or investigate the implications of alternative arc...

Virtual Manufacturing is a concept of executing manufacturing processes in computer environment as well as in the real word. This paper deals with the NC programming verification processes. It describes the main levels of simulation tasks. The second part of this paper focuses on the object oriented modelling and simulation architecture for simulation of NC machining operation. In this area som...

Background and objectives: Educational technology is widely used in all parts of medical education. The use and application of common educational technologies and adoption of educational design patterns in medical sciences education can greatly help in medical simulations, training, and improving of clinical skills of nurses and medical students. The aim of this research was to study computer-a...
