In this paper, the application of agent-based models for abnormal situation management in supply chains is presented. Two views of what an abnormal situation entails are considered i.e. performance-based and plan-based. The possible implementations of both perspectives are illustrated by agent-based models of an oil refinery supply chain and a lube oil supply chain facing with disruptions in transportation...
We propose an algorithm for maximizing the lifetime of a wireless sensor network when there is a mobile sink and the underlying application can tolerate some degree of delay in delivering the data to the sink. Our main contribution is that the algorithm is distributed, and in addition, mostly uses local information. Such an algorithm can be implemented by parallel and/or distributed execution and...
A global industrial enterprise is a complex network of different distributed production plants producing, handling, and distributing specific products. Agent-based modeling is a proven approach for modeling complex networks of intelligent and distributed actors. In this paper we will demonstrate how an agent-based model can be used to evaluate the dynamic behavior of a global enterprise, considering...
Scheduling models are one of the main parts of computer-aided process design research in recent years. One of the novel applications of scheduling models is their usage for in-site utility management of a process plant. It is very common for huge process plants to provide their utility by themselves; therefore, they shall make decision on utility supply and demand simultaneously. This approach can...
