Complex systems abound in public health. Complex systems are made up of heterogeneous
elements that interact with one another, have emergent properties that are not explained by …

In a previous report, the ISPOR Task Force on Dynamic Simulation Modeling Applications in
Health Care Delivery Research Emerging Good Practices introduced the fundamentals of …

Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) and System Dynamics (SD) are two popular
simulation paradigms. Despite their common goal, these simulation methods are rarely …

Since the mid-1990s detailed studies and field investigations on the Tibetan Plateau have
revealed human echinococcosis to be an under-reported major public health problem …

Modeling could be summed up as the task of reproducing the structure and imitating the
behavior of complex real-life systems with components interacting with one another at …

Abstract Entities and processes in complex systems are of diverse nature and operate at
various spatial and temporal scales. Hybrid agent-based (AB) and system dynamics (SD) …

The complexity of the transportation system calls for a holistic solution approach that
employs multiple modeling paradigms such as agent-based modeling and system …

Background Biological interactions between varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster
(shingles), two diseases caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), continue to be debated …

The incorporation of the spatial heterogeneity of real landscapes into population dynamics
remains extremely difficult. We propose combining equation-based modelling (EBM) and …

Hybrid simulation is nowadays a valid alternative for studying complex manufacturing
environments. Some challenges exist in this context, as the ambiguous use of terms and …
