SIMULATION IN OR AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

The skill of the management scientist lies in the ability to balance the reality of the developed model with the effort that it will take to find an answer to the problem. Many decision support systems (DSS) use representational models to predict the impact of possible decisions. There are two major types of model: simulation and analytical. A more subjective approach to decision-making is needed. While information and some form of data processing are essential, the decision-maker should adopt a less structured approach to the way the data is used. The development of interactive software has given more flexibility to the way in which the decision-maker uses the data and the applied models. This is the essence of decision support systems. Simulation models as used in business, policy, conflict situations, and and crisis management through, in almost all cases, dynamic, discrete-event, and stochastic models. According to the application area, the researcher or designer should model the real-world situation very carefully. An incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent model could result in a bad decision being made by the decision-maker possibly resulting in economic loss, physical damage or injury. The simulation models and their applications should take into account uncertainty and thus contain procedures for risk analysis. We are therefore interested in research presentations on the science of designing and developing simulation models to solve decisional problems in policy, management, conflict situations, and anti-disaster actions. In particular (but not exclusively), we welcome presentations and reports in the following areas:

- new developments and sound practice in the use of interactive simulation in building decision support systems for conflict situations (including simulation games);
- practice in the use of hybrid systems (artificial intelligence in simulation environments) as decision support in political, conflict and anti-disaster problems;
- simulation based logistics decision support systems;
- model based simulation in risk analysis for decision makers;
- application of simulation based pattern recognition in complex adaptive systems to identify and classify a situation to solve decision problems.
