Multi-agent systems allow the simulation of complex phenomena that cannot easily be described analytically. Multi-agent approaches are often based on coordinating agents whose act...
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Simulation Packages (CSPs) are widely used visual interactive modeling environments such as ArenaTM, AnylogicTM, FlexsimTM, Simul8TM, WitnessTM, et...

One of the major puzzles in performing multi-agent-based simulations is the validity of their results. Optimisation of simulation parameters can lead to results that can be deceit...
Discrete-event simulation is widely used to analyse and improve the performance of manufacturing systems. The related optimization problem often includes integer design variables ...
