Chemical Reactions in Breakthrough Separations

The goal of this work is to develop a model that can accurately represent reactive adsorption, and to apply that model to determine the feasibility of H2 production using steam methane reforming (SMR). A 1-D model of reactive adsorption that takes into account adsorption kinetics, and chemical reactions of gas species in a non-isothermal ...

A Framework for ICT-Supported Coordination in Crisis Response

Crisis response efforts often require coordinating a previously unknown adhocracy of agencies under time pressure. While current technologies that support coordination are successful for well-defined static process descriptions, they may fall short in the face of more complex and unpredictable scenarios, such as a crisis or emergency. Using...

Crisis response simulation combining discrete-event and agent-based modeling

This paper presents a crisis response simulation model architecture combining a discrete-event simulation (DES) environment for a crisis scenario with an agent-based model of the response organization. In multi-agent systems (MAS) as a computational organization, agents are modeled and implemented separately from the environmental model. We...
