Therefore, the research on the storage of hazardous chemicals in high-rise R&D buildings becomes more and more important. This paper presents a maximum dynamic design method for hazardous chemical storage. A set of fire risk indicators has been established in the research, including temperature, carbon monoxide concentration, and visibility. The representative hazardous chemicals are selected through the investigation of the distribution and quantity of hazardous chemicals. Through numerical simulation of high-rise building fire with different stocks of dangerous chemicals and evacuation simulation of different fire floors, the time when the risk factors of fire occurrence reach the critical threshold of human body (ASET) and the necessary time for human evacuation (RSET) are obtained. By adjusting the amount of hazardous chemicals stored, the time to reach the hazardous critical threshold (RSET) and the time to evacuate (ASET) are changed accordingly. When RSET < ASET, the storage capacity of hazardous chemicals in the high-rise R&D building meets the target requirements. In the case study, ethanol was selected as the representative substance, and numerical simulation and example calculation were carried out on a 16-story R&D building. The amount of ethanol stored on each floor was calculated. Among them, the eighth layer has the largest ethanol storage capacity (1.81 L/m2) and the ninth layer has the smallest ethanol storage capacity (0.89 L/m2).","PeriodicalId":501452,"journal":{"name":"SIMULATION","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140888156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A deep motivation for our agent-centric contribution is the ever-increasing development of spatially explicit agent simulation platforms. We build on this technological evolution and topology theory to endow the agent with human’s spatial representation and reasoning following a Belief–Desire–Intention architecture. A pilot implementation of the methodology with simulation experiments on a hunting model was carried out in GAMA platform to assess agent performances. Simulations display a consistent trend of animal population dynamics and also confirm a high model sensitivity to the integration of spatial knowledge and reasoning in agent-based models of human actor. These results demonstrate a successful implementation and the importance of spatial dimension in the expressive power and the validity of agent-based models. Future research efforts should therefore emphasize on designing human knowledge representation and incorporating learning abilities to improve models efficiency.","PeriodicalId":501452,"journal":{"name":"SIMULATION","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140811515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simple narrative describes how the mode of transportation for elementary school students changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors, including a lack of available bus drivers, lack of mask enforcement on buses, and inclement weather. We document the process of providing this narrative to ChatGPT and further prompting the chatbot to generate model code to represent the narrative and to make it executable. We test ChatGPT’s ability to use prose descriptions of a phenomenon to generate simulation models using three paradigms: discrete event system, system dynamics, and agent-based modeling. Our findings reveal that ChatGPT could not produce concise or executable models, facing higher difficulty when asked to do so in programming languages it was less familiar with. This analysis underscores the strengths and limitations of the current state of this technology for modeling and simulation. Furthermore, we propose how future advancements in Large Language Models may aid the simulation modeling process, increasing transparency and participation in multidisciplinary team efforts.","PeriodicalId":501452,"journal":{"name":"SIMULATION","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140600650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How to eliminate the bottlenecks is an urgent problem to be solved. In this paper, we first analyze the causes and regions of bottlenecks, and we propose three decongestion solutions: (a) moving the security check machines from the station hall to the entrance channel; (b) adding isolation belts in front of the area of escalators; and (c) separating opposite passengers flow by using isolation belts. We conduct a case study on Guomao Station, Beijing, China to verify the effectiveness of the solutions. Specifically, we establish a microscopic model to simulate the passenger flow in a subway station, and the simulation results show that decongestion solutions can reduce the queueing length of security bottleneck by more than 30%, while decreasing the passenger density in non-paying areas of the station hall by more than 50%. The decongestion solutions proposed in this paper can eliminate the bottlenecks in subway stations effectively and practicably.","PeriodicalId":501452,"journal":{"name":"SIMULATION","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140600868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This trend has been motivating research from the data center management research and practitioner community on new job schedulers that take into account data center geographical distribution. However, testing and benchmarking new schedulers for geo-distributed data centers is complicated by the lack of a common, easily extensible experimental platform. To fill this gap, we propose GDSim, an open-source, extensible job scheduling simulation environment for geo-distributed data centers that aims at facilitating the benchmarking of existing and new geo-distributed schedulers by subjecting them to a variety of data center features and conditions We use our geo-distributed job scheduler simulation platform to reproduce experiments and results for recently proposed geo-distributed job schedulers, as well as testing those schedulers under new conditions which can reveal trends that have not been previously uncovered.","PeriodicalId":501452,"journal":{"name":"SIMULATION","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140601243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, an improved model of fire evacuation (guided fire cellular automata, GF-CA) is provided. First, the parameters of the improved model are quantified and analyzed to determine the parameter calculation method and variation law. Second, a typical subway interchange station in Shenyang is used as an example for evacuation simulation. Then, a lightweight building information modeling (BIM) is constructed and applied to the example combining the evacuation simulation software of Pathfinder and virtual reality technology for personnel evacuation simulation. Three types of simulation scenarios are examined, including simulation without guiding factors, simulation with guiding factors based on the improved model, and simulation based on the virtual reality experiment with guiding factors. The results show that the evacuation efficiency is increased by 75.63% after effective guidelines through personnel diversion and reasonable exit allocation, noting that the path results of the model are highly similar to those of the virtual reality experiment, which has good validity and rationality. Meanwhile, we analyze the guiding scheme and propose that we should pay attention to the position of the sign and the configuration of the conductor, and flexibly use the composite scheme, which provides effective technical support for improving evacuation safety and evacuation efficiency.","PeriodicalId":501452,"journal":{"name":"SIMULATION","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140299663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
