ABSTRACT In 2007, the Journal of Simulation ran the first ever journal issue dedicated to
conceptual modelling for discrete-event simulation. The editorial for that issue reported on a …

Whether by design or by practice, systems engineering (SE) processes are used more and
more often in Modeling and Simulation (M&S). While the two disciplines are very close, there …

Hybrid Simulation (HS) is not new. However there is contention in academic discourse as to
what qualifies as HS? Is there a distinction between multi-method, multi-paradigm and HS …

While ontology deals with the question of being or existence, epistemology deals with the
question of gaining knowledge. This panel addresses the challenge of how we gain …

As part of the requirement analysis, challenges were defined for the formalization of
hypotheses. Yet, it seems that these requirements are insufficiently met in practice. With …

Modeling and simulating a real world scenario is fundamentally an abstraction that takes
only part of the given scenario into the model. Furthermore, the level of detail in the model …

The intelligent future power system, often referred to as Smart Grid, has to integrate and
coordinate a large number of different actors such as decentralized renewable energy …

Ce travail de thèse porte sur l'étude des systèmes complexes par une démarche de
modélisation et simulation (M&S). La plupart des questionnements sur ces systèmes …

Current advances operational information fusion systems (IFSs) require common semantic
ontologies for collection, storage, and access to multi intelligence information. One example …

Simulation games have often been found useful as a method of inquiry to gain insight in
complex system behavior and as aids for design, engineering simulation and visualization …
