Agent paradigm is a technology recognized as potent tool for the 21 st century
manufacturing system. Researches are on-going in the applications of agent technology to …

Simulation models are abstractions of a real-world, or proposed real-world, system. In other
words, the models do not contain every aspect and detail of the system that they are …

In a dynamic customer-centric supply chain context, classic forecasting models turn out to
have a limited applicability. In order to estimate the key performance indices of these Supply …

This paper discusses shortfalls in relation to the requirements gathering phases of
simulation. While many developments have taken place around supporting the model …

Manufacturing systems need to develop more strongly time-oriented strategies in order to
react to the dynamic conditions of the competitive environment. This research concerns the …

A significant shortcoming of traditional simulation languages is the lack of attention paid to
the modeling of control structures, ie, the humans or systems responsible for manufacturing …

A few decades ago, Hurrion introduced the notion of visual interactive simulation (Hurrion
1976, 1989). Its basic contribution lies in the fact that it brings analysts and stakeholders …

Agent-based systems have been employed in the Supply Chain Management field since the
1990s. In spite of its appealing and extensive use in both research and practice, the agent …

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to provide a systematic literature review of recent
developments in methodological frameworks for the modelling and simulation of agent …
