This paper addresses the broad topic area of cross-paradigm simulation modeling with a
focus on the discrete-event, system dynamics and agent-based paradigms. It incorporates …

Many combat and agent-based models use time-step as their simulation time advance
mechanism. Since time discretization is known to affect the results when numerically solving …

Maritime piracy has been a major issue for the international community in the last decade
and affected the global economy. As a reaction to this issue, international organizations …

In recent years, simulation has been used to investigate building-occupant relations while
focusing on pedestrian movement, day-to-day occupancy, and energy use. Most of these …

Many military planning problems are difficult to solve using pure mathematical programming
techniques. One such problem is scheduling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in military …

This paper introduces a logistics and transportation simulation that can be used to provide
insights into potential outcomes of proposed military deployment plans. More specifically, we …

This work presents a framework and a graphical user interface, Viskit, for the creation and
analysis of component-based discrete event simulation models. Two primary elements of the …

Traditionally, the model time in agent-based simulations is advanced in fixed time steps.
However, a purely time-stepped execution is inefficient in situations where the states of …

Common car-following models for microscopic traffic simulation assume a time
advancement using fixed-sized time steps. However, a purely time-driven execution is …

We investigate the effects of time advance mechanisms on the behavior of agents in combat
simulations using some simple scenarios relevant to combat and agent-based models. We …
