TLDR
In this paper, the authors emphasize the application of system engineering principles to the development of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) applications and make the case for agent-directed simulation system engineering.Abstract:
This article emphasizes the application of system engineering principles to the development of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) applications. Clear distinction between M&S for system engineering and system engineering (SE) for M&S is presented to clarify the need for simulation system engineering. Furthermore, the characteristics of emergent open, complex, and adaptive M&S applications are overviewed to make the case for agent-directed simulation system engineering. An agent-directed simulation view of developing such applications is presented within the framework of a cognitive system engineering perspective.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a polynomial dimensional decomposition (PDD) method for global sensitivity analysis of stochastic systems subject to independent random input following arbitrary probability distributions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability analysis of interdependent infrastructure systems under edge attack strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different attacks on systems connectivity against cascading failures have close relations with the tolerate parameter, and the results show interdependent systems with degree based interfaces provide good stability and good performance, however, due to interdependency, critical components for interdependent cases have some differences compared to independent ones and can result in more performance losses, they should be protected with prior consideration.

A Multiagent System-Based Protection and Control Scheme for Distribution System With Distributed-Generation Integration
TL;DR: In this article, a multiagent system-based protection and control scheme is proposed to deal with diverse operation conditions in distribution system due to distributed-generation (DG) integration, which is tested and validated on a test distribution system in a hardwarein-the-loop real-time testing platform.

System theoretic foundations of modeling and simulation: a historic perspective and the legacy of A Wayne Wymore
TL;DR: The emergence of systems-theory-based modeling and simulation languages and environments, such as the General System Theory implementor and Discrete Event System Specification, and their relation to Wymore’s concepts are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agent-based modeling: a systematic assessment of use cases and requirements for enhancing pharmaceutical research and development productivity.
TL;DR: It is argued that to realize its full potential, M&S should be actualized within a larger information technology framework—a dynamic knowledge repository—wherein models of various types execute, evolve, and increase in accuracy over time.

Multi-Agent Systems: An Introduction to Distributed Artificial Intelligence
TL;DR: Jacques Ferber's authoritative book is the first to provide a single, coherent overview of multi-agent systems, and introduces and defines key concepts throughout the text.

Tools and techniques for developing policies for complex and uncertain systems.
TL;DR: It is argued that policy analysis by using ABM requires an alternative approach to decision theory, and the general characteristics of such an approach are described and examples are provided of its application to policy analysis.

Software system engineering: a tutorial
TL;DR: The article integrates the definitions and processes from the IEEE software engineering standards into the SwSE process, arguing that SwSE is a distinct and powerful tool for managing the technical development of large software projects.
Expanding Our Horizons in Teaching the Use of Intelligent Agents for Simulation Modeling of Next Generation Engineering Systems
TL;DR: A unified and coherent framework for teaching a graduate level agent-directed simulation course for computer science and engineering students is presented and a shift from a predictive modeling worldview toward a new computational epistemology perspective that advocates exploratory experimentation with agent-based models is suggested.
