A recent overview of the integration of System Dynamics and Agent-based Modelling and Simulation

Modelling and simulation aim to reproduce the structure and imitate the behavior of real-life systems. For complex dynamic systems, System Dynamics (SD) and Agent-based (AB) modelling are two widely used modelling paradigms that prior to the early 2010’s have traditionally been viewed as mutually exclusive alternatives. This literature review...

Taking Advantage of Data Generated by Products: Trends, Opportunities and Challenges

Design guidelines and empirical evaluation tools for inland ships

For inland ships, state-of-the-art hull form design is to a large extent based on experience, common sense, or adjusting previous designs. The idea therefore arises that further optimization is possible if the right knowledge is available. This knowledge is insufficiently available due to two main reasons. First, research into inland ship...
