Insider threat modeling focuses primarily on the individual and the prediction of an insider threat incident. The majority of these models are statistical that tend toward trend-projections using various regression models. The modeling presented in this paper engages an agent-based paradigm that is designed to explore how an agent interacts with other employees and the organization in an environment...
Innovation and health-care funding reforms have contributed to the deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve patient care. Many health-care organizations considered the application of ICT as a crucial key to enhance health-care management. This paper aims at providing a global methodology to assess the organizational impact of high-level Health Information System (HIS)...
High quality input data is a necessity for successful Discrete Event Simulation (DES) applications, and there are available methodologies for data collection in DES projects. However, in contrast to standalone projects, using DES as a day-to-day engineering tool requires high quality production data to be constantly available. Unfortunately, there are no detailed guidelines that describes how to achieve...
High demand of healthcare services due to changes in population demography, technological and medical advancements, budget limitations have direct effect on medical staff and medical organizations in particularly hospitals. One of the major issues confronting the healthcare system is staff behavior when they get close to ‘burnout’ level. This study identifies factors affecting nurses' behavior and...
This paper summarizes an event which brought together modeling experts, users, potential users and healthcare management practitioners to explore the question of evidence in the field of healthcare: how it is, and how it should be, used. The paper is an abridged version of a full report on the event. The paper highlights the high status accorded to empirical evidence (generated, in particular by randomized...
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability world-wide. Treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the most effective medical treatment for acute brain infarction within 4.5 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms to improve functional outcome. Unfortunately, tPA remains substantially underutilized. Stroke care organization is among...
Since the early development of computer simulation, knowledge constructs have played a major role in model construction and simulation analysis. This is the case for both discrete and continuous simulation. This study is an ongoing effort to explore the development and utilization of knowledge and information constructs in modeling and simulation. Effective knowledge management is the key to the success...
Dengue is a febrile disease whose main vector transmitter is the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. This disease has an annual register of 50 million infections worldwide. Simulations are an important tool in helping to combat and prevent the epidemic and, consequently, save lives and resources. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an Agent-Based Model for assessment of the pupal productivity of the Aedes Aegypti...
