Agile processes have been used in software development, with many case studies indicating positive changes in productivity when these processes are used. Agile processes are beginning to be applied to work beyond software-centric systems. There does not yet exist a diverse set of studies on the effectiveness of Agile processes on hardware-intensive systems. The research in this article applies a modeling and simulation-based approach which uses the function–behavior–structure framework to evaluate the effectiveness of waterfall and Agile processes. The simulation was validated against case studies of software-centric design efforts. When applied to a space launch vehicle—a highly coupled, hardware-intensive system—the simulation shows that the benefits of Agile may not be as great as those seen with software-intensive systems.

This paper proposes a new approach integrating the modeling of moving persons from sensor data and agent-based simulation for indoor layout design viewed from preventing children’s accidents. Our model focuses on interaction between indoor objects and children to estimate the risk of indoor accidents. We discuss the agent-based simulation of multiple persons moving in public spaces and its application to evaluating information presentation for guidance.

Recently, social simulation research based on real data has appeared in various fields. This paper introduces studies of Agent-Based Simulation (ABSs) based on real data, focusing on introducing studies in the fields of financial marketing, traffic, pedestrians, and a sustainable society. We also introduce some approaches to establish a general method and/or theory about linking social simulation to real data. Finally, we categorize ABS research for understanding ABS research features.

Purpose This paper aims to address the use of modelling and simulation tools to enhance intangible process assets management by simulating and automating their characterization depending on their quality and impact on an organizational business goal. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a study comparing two simulation-based approaches to characterize intangible assets: system dynamics and agent-based simulation. Findings Strategic business studies have not yet considered the use of simulation techniques to characterize the intangible assets at length. The proposed solution introduces significant improvements for strategic data visualization, providing company stakeholders with a practical and helpful prism through which to view an easily adaptable, cheap and meaningful source of information about their company’s process assets, and their behaviour based on operation indicators. Practical implications This research offers decision-makers in knowledge-intensive organizations alternatives for effective strategic decision-making and for leveraging prospective views based on the specification of the organization’s knowledge. To do this, stakeholders will be able to use very promising low-cost simulation-based tools to create practical scenarios and potential situations that generate inputs for debate and decision-making by senior and middle management. Originality/value This paper reports an unprecedented comparative study of system dynamics and agent-based simulation to speed-up the characterization of the intangible process assets based on their quality and impact on strategic goals. It stresses the benefits and implications of the use of these techniques for better strategic management.
