We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
The computer simulation of complex phenomena is a challenging issue for studying their properties. Several models and techniques have been developed in order to provide useful con...

Rewrite theories and their associated Kripke structures constitute a flexible and executable framework in which a wide range of systems can be studied. We present a general notion...
In this paper, we outline the creation of an Informed Environment, dedicated to urban life simulation.We propose methods and tools for creating and providing the information neces...
Case studies are widely used in business and medicine to help students learn from the successes and failures of practitioners in the field. This paper discusses the potential bene...
