In recent years there has been significant interest in multimethodology and the mixing of
OR/MS methods, including Discrete Event Simulation (DES) with System Dynamics (SD) …

From smart cities to factories and business, many decision-making processes in our society
involve NP-hard optimization problems. In a real environment, these problems are frequently …

Hybrid Simulation (HS) is the combined application of simulation approaches like SD, DES
and ABS in the model implementation stage of a simulation study. Its objective is to better …

There is a growing trend in the number of M&S studies that report on the use of Hybrid
Simulation. However, the meaning and the usage of the term varies considerably. Indeed …

Symbiotic simulation is one of Industry 4.0 technologies that enables interaction between a
physical system and the simulation model that represents it as its digital twin. Symbiotic …
