Opis

Marking the 30th anniversary of the European Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS), this inspirational text/reference reviews significant advances in the field of modelling and simulation, as well as key applications of simulation in other disciplines. The broad-ranging volume presents contributions from a varied selection of distinguished experts chosen from high-impact keynote speakers and best paper winners from the conference, including a Nobel Prize recipient, and the first president of the European Council for Modelling and Simulation (also abbreviated to ECMS). This authoritative book will be of great value to all researchers working in the field of modelling and simulation, in addition to scientists from other disciplines who make use of modelling and simulation approaches in their work.

Marking the 30th anniversary of the European Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS), this inspirational text/reference reviews significant advances in the field of modelling and simulation, as well as key applications of simulation in other disciplines. The broad-ranging volume presents contributions from a varied selection of distinguished experts chosen from high-impact keynote speakers and best paper winners from the conference, including a Nobel Prize recipient, and the first president of the European Council for Modelling and Simulation (also abbreviated to ECMS).

Topics and features:

• Includes a review of the history of the ECMS council and conference
• Presents a highlight on research into the modelling of the human brain
• Describes the modelling of organizations for the analysis of their behaviour, and examines developments in fuzzy granular modelling
• Proposes a research architecture for simulation in the social sciences, and suggests an evolutionary symbolic regression technique for classification and system control
• Discusses a methodology for the prediction of cruise ship manoeuvring behaviour, which was applied in the investigation into the Costa Concordia shipwreck
• Provides a meta-method that guides optimisation algorithms towards solutions that are more robust against variations caused by the manufacturing process
• Covers such topics in stochastic modelling as the packet loss problem, fitting methods based on Markov modulated point processes, and Markovian agent models

This authoritative book will be of great value to all researchers working in the field of modelling and simulation, in addition to scientists from other disciplines who make use of modelling and simulation approaches in their work.
