Simulation Models for Supporting Hedging in Illiquid Markets
No full textMarket liquidity is a very important topic for financial risk management. This paper proposed the
use of an integrated model (Monte Carlo, System Dynamics and Discrete Event Simulation) in order to support
energy management in a steel plant. After the introduction, which presents a literature review, we have
analyzed the use of System Dynamics (SD) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES). Finally, we have analyzed a
case of a on-line real time tool related to steel production. In this case we used the techniques previously
described emphasizing their strengths
An INNOVATIVE HYBRID SIMULATION APPROACH FOR SUPPORTING MARITIME LOGISTICS
No full textWhen dealing with the modeling and simulation of transportation and logistics problems, the
Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is one of the most used techniques, especially when dealing
with the operational context. Other authors have addressed the logistics context by using the
System Dynamics (SD) simulation that works in the continuous time. In order to overcome
these issues, the authors propose an innovative methodological approach able to effectively
address particular kind of logistics and transportation problems by utilizing a hybrid System
Dynamics simulation
Dependable Services for Mobile Health Monitoring Systems
No full textThe design and realization of health monitoring systems has attracted the interest of large communities both from industry and academia. Remote and continuous monitoring of patient’s vital signs is the target of an emerging business market that aims both to improve the quality of life of patients and to reduce costs of national healthcare services. Such applications, however, are particularly critical from the point of view of dependability. This presents the design of a set of services for the assurance of high degrees of dependability to generic mobile health monitoring systems. The design is based on the results of a detailed failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), conducted to identify the typical dependability threats of health monitoring systems. The FMEA allowed the authors to conceive a set of configurable monitoring services, enriching the system with the ability to detect failures at runtime, and enabling the realization of dependable services for future mobile health monitoring systems
Applied Simulation to Support Steel Industry Re-Engineering, Planning and Operations: Methodologies and Case Studies
No full textModeling and simulation is a powerful tool able to address complex decision making process: it allows the responsible to infer the effect of a decision well in advance and to avoid excessive risky decisions. The authors in this papers proposed the application of M&S to both strategic and operative management in the steel manufacturing industry

No full textGoing Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
