We present aggregate contribution as a solution for two longstanding issues with goal modeling languages such as i* and GRL which support decomposition and contribution links for intentional elements. An aggregate contribution summarizes the contributions of constituent parts (child elements) at the parent level, giving the modeler an overview of the actual impact of the parent while still enab...

Very well known problems such as the fragility problem, the AOP paradox, or the aspect interference problem threaten aspect oriented application in the modeling phase. In this work we explore FVS, a declarative visual language, as an aspect-oriented modeling language. Our language exhibits a very flexible and rich joinpoint model to leverage aspect-oriented application and is suitable for incre...

Management and control over the processes occurring in transport system can be carried out at macroscopic level based on operations research methods or microscopic using simulation theory. The article analyzes characteristics of presents a concept that is suitable for both types models. description structure given three main components: infrastructure allows you to determine routes movement veh...

Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...

Processes are very important for the success within many business fields. They define the proper application of methods, technologies and company structures in order to reach business goals. Not only manufacturing processes have to be defined from the start point to their end, also other processes like product development processes need a proper description to gain success. For example in autom...

Agent-oriented modeling is a top-down approach for modeling and simulating the behaviors of complex systems. This research addresses the application of agent-oriented modeling to eliciting and representing knowledge for social simulations. We provide an overview of agent-oriented modeling and describe a case study on conflict resolution that has an impact on winning “hearts and minds” of the oc...
