Probabilistic risk assessment provides a practical approach for assessing the security capabilities of systems. Terrorism risk assessment requires estimation of the probabilities and consequences of hypothetical attacks against a target. In order to address the interdependencies between the different elements present in the target environment we propose to develop a computer-based model. The model...
This paper presents a new method for rapid simulation model generation using cladistics, a technique commonly used for evolutionary analysis in biology. In this research, cladistics is adopted as a basis for classification of problems typically found in manufacturing systems particularly assembly lines. The basic premise in this research is that manufacturing systems evolve (e.g. from craft production...
Numerous modeling and simulation software products have been developed in the last decades. Most of them have been created from scratch, often dedicated to single formalisms, single simulation algorithms, hardware platforms, or applications. But nevertheless each of these software products has to follow principles, and it has to contain techniques and elements to be usable for modeling and simulation...
Developing sustainable urban environments is complex as it requires consideration of interacting social, economic and environmental sustain ability factors. The task is made even more difficult by the wide variety of stakeholders (e.g. planners, architects, businesses and the public) that may be involved in the process and the lack of a common language for all to understand. This paper describes a...
