Most of the previous types of simulations and simulators referenced evaluating methods and effective practices. In the distant past technological advancement in the form of medical training mannequins or board games were the bulk of technology based simulators. With the growth of the computer industry, we are naturally increasing our use of computerized technology. Simulation is absolutely no exception to this. Computer simulations have become one of the greatest and most common ways of creating

Multi Agent System/Agent Based Modeling Multi-agent systems are among the methods used for modeling and simulating Natural Disaster emergencies. The terminology of Agent Based System tends to be used more often in the sciences and Multi Agent System in engineering and technology. The Agent Based System is gradually replacing the micro-simulation techniques and object-oriented simulation. Agent Based System has ability to capture different dynamic models which usually consist of simple entities or

Agents Based Models (ABM) - Introduction to ABM A model is a representation of a real system and thus, it is an abstraction of the reality 4. “The word “modeling” comes from the Latin word modellus which describes a typical human way of coping with the reality” (Schichl, n.d.). Models can take various forms such as mathematical equation, drawing, computer code, etc. However, there is a common purpose of all designed models, which is to simplify the complexity presented in the real system or problem

Webquest Handout Task 1: 1. The research methods knowledge database is a database of generalized topics about performing social research. These vary from how to collect data, who to collect data from, where to collect the data, etc. a. What is the difference between qualitative data and quantitative data? How do you determine what type of data to collect? Can your topic be represented by solid numbers, or is it based on opinion? 2. Quantitative because the data given is concrete

Simulations "What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand." Confucius, 451 BC General As young children, we all learn by doing. Toddlers learn to walk on their own with their parents standing by as guides, providing a safe environment that makes it possible for the child to learn. When a child enters the "formal education" system, unfortunately this rich environment of learning by doing often disappears. The education system is still stuck in the industrial

Simulation has been used to analyze many issues in the healthcare sector for over 40 years [1]. Such issues that have been addressed by simulation include, but not limited to; improving patients’ workflows and throughput time, reducing waiting times, resources allocation and optimization, staff scheduling and development of decision support systems (DSS). Discrete Event Simulation (DES), Agent Based Simulation (ABS) and System Dynamics are the main simulation methods that have been used for healthcare
