The DSOL simulation suite: Enabling multi-formalism simulation in a distributed context

In this thesis the development of a java-based, simulation environment is presented. The core concepts are to support multiple decision makers in a distributed context with multiple continuous and discrete formalisms. The environment is named DSOL and is published under the open source LGPL licence

Supporting Workforce Planning

The goal of this project is to develop a workforce planning tool. A workforce planning tool is a decision support system (Keen and Sol, 2008) that enables Accenture to make better informed and faster decisions about its future workforce. The workforce planning tool has been developed with a design science approach. This approach is an iterative...

Supporting Workforce Planning With a Simulation Based Tool

An organizations workforce is one of its most important strategic assets. Getting the right workforce at the right time is a very hard job in a constantly changing labor market. To make this job a little bit easier a workforce planning tool has been developed. This tool supports Human Resource Specialists with giving insight into how an...

Achieving Informed Decision-Making using Building Performance Simulation

Building performance simulation (BPS) is the basis for informed decision-making of Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) design. This paper aims to investigate the use of building performance simulation tools as a method of informing the design decision of NZEBs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a simulationbased decision aid, ZEBO...
