商品描述

The unique book advances understanding of modelling complex systems using hybrid approaches that combine discrete-event, agent-based, and system dynamic simulations with research approaches and artefacts from other scientific disciplines.

As systems become increasingly large and complex, it is a challenge to capture the intricacies of the underlying system and offer novel forms of analysis using only models that employ a single simulation technique. The book underscores the importance of both hybrid simulation (employing techniques primarily developed in the field of modelling and simulation) and hybrid modelling (incorporating simulation with methods from wider disciplines such as applied computing, data science, engineering, and soft/qualitative operations research). Furthermore, the text aims to inspire further research and practice, fostering the growth of cross-disciplinary hybrid models.

Topics and features:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of hybrid modelling and simulation, including methodological extensions and novel applications
  • Features case studies and examples demonstrating the synergy realized by applying hybrid methods
  • Calls for innovation and growth of the discipline by incorporating diverse scientific perspectives
  • Encourages adoption of interdisciplinary methods to engender improved insights from simulation studies
  • Promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, pushing modelling and simulation into new research and application areas

This comprehensive volume will appeal to researchers, academics, students, and practitioners who seek to advance their modelling and simulation work. The book also will serve as a reference, informing research communities of the potential of hybrid models that combine simulation with disciplinary research artefacts, methods, and approaches.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本獨特的書籍推進了使用混合方法來模擬複雜系統的理解,這些方法結合了離散事件、基於代理的和系統動態模擬,並結合了其他科學學科的研究方法和工具。

隨著系統變得越來越大且複雜,僅使用單一模擬技術的模型來捕捉底層系統的細節並提供新形式的分析是一個挑戰。本書強調了混合模擬(主要使用建模和模擬領域中發展的技術)和混合建模(將模擬與應用計算、數據科學、工程和軟/質性運營研究等其他學科的方法相結合)的重要性。此外,本書旨在激發進一步的研究和實踐,促進跨學科混合模型的發展。

本書的主題和特點包括:
- 提供混合建模和模擬的全面概述,包括方法擴展和新應用案例
- 通過案例研究和示例展示應用混合方法所實現的協同效應
- 呼籲通過融合不同科學觀點來創新和發展學科
- 鼓勵採用跨學科方法,以獲得模擬研究的更好洞察力
- 促進學科間的合作,將建模和模擬推向新的研究和應用領域

這本全面的書籍將吸引研究人員、學者、學生和從業人員,他們希望推進他們的建模和模擬工作。該書還將作為一本參考書,向研究社區介紹將模擬與學科研究工具、方法和途徑相結合的混合模型的潛力。
