Agent-based Modelling of Complex Socio-technical Operations at Airports Serving as a Humanitarian Hub

Airports play a key role during humanitarian relief operations. It is therefore important to connect the humanitarian and aviation disciplines to find possibilities to improve these airport operations when operating during and after a humanitarian disaster. This research provides a methodology on how to model, verify, calibrate and validate the...

Modelling the Emergence of Functioning Natural Gas Wholesale Markets

The European Commission considers liberalized and liquid natural gas wholesale markets as a priority. Agent-based models are considered suited to provide insight in what market conditions contribute to the emergence of functioning natural gas wholesale markets. We present an abstraction of the natural gas market to explore the emergence of...

A new perspective on usability: Towards a usable gas-desulphurization agent-based model at Shell P&T

While agent-based models (ABM) are increasingly used to study overall system behaviour of various systems, they can also be hard to use by people and organisations that are not familiar with this modelling paradigm. Creating usable agent-based models is thus an important aspect to consider while constructing agent-based models. However, an ABM...
