Abstract

With the integration of artificial intelligence, agents and other modelling techniques, simulation has reemerged as widely used decision support tool in industry. This presentation presents emerging research trends in simulation such as Digital Twins Simulations, VR/AR Simulations for Training, Design, and Human-Centric Workspaces, Simulation for Circular Economy and Sustainable Production, Predictive Maintenance and Failure Analysis Using Simulation, etc. as published in Computers and Industrial Engineering (CAIE). Furthermore, application domain areas such manufacturing and healthcare published manuscripts in CAIE are summarized.
