Research

My research is about the comparison of simulation techniques between Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and  Agent Based Simulation (ABS). DES is one of the best-known types of simulation techniques in Operational Research. Recently, there  has been an emergence of another technique, namely ABS. One of the qualities of ABS is that it helps to gain a better understanding of complex systems that involve the interaction of people with their environment as it allows to model concepts like autonomy and pro-activeness which are important attributes to consider. Although there is a lot of literature relating to DES and ABS, we have found none that focuses on exploring the capability of both in tackling the human behaviour issues in the service sector.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify empirically the level of proactive behaviour that can be modelled in DES and ABS models and following to produce the best modelling practice in modelling human behaviour for service sector.
