The emergence of coupled natural and human landscapes marked a transformative interval
in the human past that set our species on the road to the urbanized, industrial world in which …

In this paper, we review the literature related to the reuse of computer-based simulation
models in the context of systems design. Models are used to capture aspects of existing or …

The unprecedented use of Earth's resources by humans, in combination with increasing
natural variability in natural processes over the past century, is affecting the evolution of the …

Building Software for Simulation A unique guide to the design and implementation of
simulation software This book offers a concise introduction to the art of building simulation …

Recently, big data has received greater attention in diverse research fields, including
medicine, science, engineering, management, defense, politics, and others. Such research …

The archaeological record has been described as a key to the long-term consequences of
human action that can help guide our decisions today. Yet the sparse and incomplete nature …

Multi-Paradigm Modeling (MPM) addresses the necessity of using multiple modeling
paradigms when designing complex systems. Because of its multidisciplinary nature, the …

The discipline of component-based modeling and simulation offers promising gains in
reducing cost, time, and the complexity of model development through the (re) use of …

Computer-aided drug discovery gradually builds on previous work and requires reusable
code to advance research. Currently, research code is mainly used to provide further …

Abstract The Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system, a modeling and simulation
tool, offers certain advantages for studying water systems. These systems are modeled as a …
