From Work Practice Models and Simulation To Implementation of Human-Centered Agent Systems

چکیده
In this paper we describe an agent-based software development environment for developing agent systems that are fundamentally based on a holistic analysis of the human and software agent organization and work practices for which the agent system is to be developed. Brahms is an agent modeling, simulation and development environment developed at NASA Ames Research Center. Brahms stems from a decade of research on modeling and simulating human work practices. As a result of this research, partly at NASA Ames and partly in industry, we are now working on extending the environment to allow for the design and implementation of software systems that are fundamentally based on work practice and include software agents that have a dynamic representation of the humanand software agents it is collaborating with.

This paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of Lean Manufacturing. The lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing Kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. To improve ...
متن کاملA Supply - Scarcity and Strategic Decision-Making Angle: High Performance Work Practices in Small Firms
High performance work practices (HPWPs) are human resource management practices aimed at stimulating employee and organisational performance. The application of HPWPs is not widespread in small organisations. We examine whether the implementation of coherent bundles of HPWPs (aimed at employee ability, employee motivation or at the opportunity to perform) depends on the scarcity of resources, a...

The current paper explores designing a web information retrieval system regarding the searching behavior of users in real and everyday life. Designing an information system that is closely linked to human behavior is equally important for providers and the end users. From an Information Science point of view, four approaches in designing information retrieval systems were identified as system-...

The increasing population growth in urban areas has created adverse social, economic, environmental and physical impacts on cities. Therefore, cities must provide better places for life. One of these places is the creation of pedestrian streets. The purpose of this research is to find out the development of a pedestrian with a human-centered approach in the city of Golghah which has been select...
متن کاملBrahms A multiagent modeling environment for simulating work practice in organizations
Introduction In this paper we position Brahms as a tool for simulating organizational processes. Brahms is a modeling and simulation environment for analyzing human work practice, and for using such models to develop intelligent software agents to support the work practice in organizations. Brahms is the result of more than ten years of research at the Institute for Research on Learning (IRL), ...
