An important class of ecological problems concerns propagation processes. In ecological modelling, these phenomena generally occur on large scales and are generally difficult to simulate efficiently because of the number of entities. Studies of this kind of phenomena lack genericity and reusability because they are often presented from the point of view of a single domain expert. Simulations ma...

An important class of ecological problems concerns propagation processes. In ecological modelling, these phenomena generally occur on large scales and are generally difficult to efficiently simulate because of the number of entities and connections between entities. Studies of this kind of phenomena lack genericity and reusability because they are often presented through the point of view of a ...

EUROSIM Congresses are the most important modelling and simulation events in Europe. For EUROSIM2013, we are soliciting original submissions describing novel research and developments in the following (and related) areas of interest: Continuous, discrete (event) and hybrid modelling, simulation, identification and optimization approaches. Two basic contribution motivations are expected: M&S Met...

A computer assisted modelling methodology is developed for the generation of linearized models with parametric uncertainties described by Linear Fractional Transformations (LFTs). The starting point of the uncertainty modelling is a class of generic nonlinear aircraft models with explicit parametric dependence used for simulation purposes. The proposed methodology integrates specialized softwar...

Effective collaboration in simulation modelling is possibly one of the key factors in the success of a simulation project. Computer Supported Cooperative Work is a research field that has investigated this in other domains. This field has led to the technological development of software, or groupware, to facilitate group working. This paper investigates the appropriateness of groupware in simul...

BACKGROUND The objective of the review was to evaluate the extent, quality and value of computer simulation modelling in population health and health care delivery. METHODS A narrative systematic review was carried out of world literature from 1980 to 1999, searching Medline, INSPEC, Embase, HealthSTAR, Science Citation Index, CINAHL, MathSci, INFORMS Online and SIGLE databases, and researche...
