van Velzen, L. (author)
Climate change without adequate countermeasures has become one of humanity's greatest threat. Energy production by means of renewable energy sources is therefore one of the crucial measures that will play a paramount role in reducing the pollutant emissions of fossil fuel dependency. Small islands in particular are an exemplary case of the...

A framework for the modeling and simulation of transitions is presented. A transition, “substantial change in the state of a socio-technical system”, typically unfolds over a long timespan. We therefore suggest to use simulation to inform transition managers on the effect of their decisions. Transition models preferably meet five functional...

Societal transitions involve multiple actors, changes in institutions, values and technologies, and interactions across multiple sectors and scales. Given this complexity, this paper takes on the view that the societal transitions research field would benefit from the further maturation and broader uptake of modelling approaches. This paper...

Container terminals are important nodes in the worldwide supply chain. The planning of the daily operations of a container terminal is a complex task and sub optimal decisions can be made due to interconnected sub processes, interrelated decisions, time and uncertainty. If suboptimal planning decisions are made in the planning, consequences will...

Within electricity markets, serious concerns exist whether a competitive electricity market will provide the necessary incentives for investment in generation. In Europe several countries are looking at the options of implementing a capacity mechanism. A capacity market provides a possible solution to this problem of generation adequacy but the...

Negotiations are an everyday phenomena, and yet the process is so complex, ill-structured and even chaotic that analysis becomes challenging. Consequently, we currently lack systematic understanding of the dynamics that govern negotiations concerning multiple issues with multiple participants who behave strategically. The objective of this...

AgentSpring is a new agent-based modeling framework especially suited to model and simulate complex socio-technical systems, such as energy markets or transport infrastructures. Common problems encountered when modeling and analyzing such systems are how to represent the variety of facts that describe the system and how to allow agents to make...

Real world problems are a challenge and a motivator for students to learn understanding and using the concepts of systems and actors. But using real world problems in the classroom is not without challenges and dilemmas. In the paper we explicitly address the issue of the need for quite intense support for the students when tackling real life...

The main objectives of the Third Gas Directive (2009/73EC) approved by the European Union are: unbundling, creating an independent Transport Service Operator (TSO) and ensuring free access to the market. The separation of gas trading from transportation activities required new market rules and gas balancing. Thereby, the TSO's responsibilities...

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is widely used in analyzing and improving business processes. Business process maturity models (BPMM) are used to define maturity levels of business processes and give recommendations how maturity levels can be increased. While each has proven their efficiency in their own way, very little attention is paid to the...

Introduction of a new product in the market brings new opportunities to a company but also involves many risks. Many companies cease to exist in this turbulent period, even before the technology reaches mass-diffusion. In this study we look at the processes in the period of pre-diffusion and in particular in the market adaptation phase. With...

The tourism sector of Norway is one of the sectors that aim for sustainability and is the subject of an ambitious project. With an estimated 5% of the total global CO2 emissions coming from tourism, this is a good sector to examine for improvements in sustainability. The tourism sector in combination with the government started the project...

Recent advances in computers, networking, and telecommunications offer new opportunities for using simulation and gaming as methodological tools for improving crisis management. It has become easy to develop virtual environments to support games, to have players at distributed workstations interacting with each other, to have automated...

A powerful combination of simulation and optimization has been successfully applied to solve real-world decision making problems (Fu et al., 2000; Fu, Glover, & April, 2005). Unfortunately, there are scientific and application problems with this method. Firstly, there is no transparent and formal structure to define the integration between...

Transition can be characterized as long-term structural changes in the societal systems, through which the way these systems function change significantly. Both the scope and extent of change, and the nature of the societal systems make transition processes a complex dynamic phenomena to understand. This study explores both methodological and...

Purpose – In the process of transformation, governments have to deal with a host of stakeholders and complex organizational and technical issues. In this viewpoint paper, an argument is made in favour of using gaming and simulation as tools designed to aid the transformation and reengineering of government. Based on the argument, a research...

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...
