A Discrete Event Simulation Framework for Agent-Based Modelling of Logistic Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent-based simulation can be viewed as methodical advancement and generalization of microscopic modelling styles in object-oriented and discrete event simulation well suited for logistic systems. Existing object-oriented simulation frameworks form an adequate basis for agent-based modelling where general simulation functionality can be reused. Extensions are required in view of the main aspects in agent-based simulation related to spatial and behaviour modelling. This paper outlines the advancement of a discrete event simulation framework for applications of agent-based simulation mainly in logistics. Agent-based simulation is typically applied in microscopic modelling of systems where common actions of autonomously deciding actors, mostly humans are represented. The extension includes a graph-based spatial modeling as well as flexible behavior descriptions in different modes (e.g. UML state charts). As an application of agent-based simulation and the related software tool in the logistics domain a simulation model for sustainable logistic concepts in courier services is presented.

متن کاملDecentralized prognosis of fuzzy discrete-event systems
This paper gives a decentralized approach to the problem of failure prognosis in the framework of fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). A notion of co-predictability is formalized for decentralized prognosis of FDESs, where several local agents with fuzzy observability rather than crisp observability are used in the prognosis task. An FDES is said to be co-predictable if each faulty event can be...

متن کاملModeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism
In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...
