Computational grids are now widespread, but their large-scale behaviour is still poorly understood. We report on some calculations of loading, scaling and utilisation behaviours o...
Creolization is a self-organization process of new language community. Thus far, a simulation study of the emergence of creoles has been reported in the mathematical framework. In...
This paper presents EarthMover, a discrete-event special-purpose simulation modeling tool for earthwork planning geared towards practitioners. The paper explores the capabilities ...
