Agenda
Visualization
Simulation Modeling
Advanced Custom User Interfaces
Considerations
Visualization
Provides the look and feel of a proposed system
May be static or dynamic
Does not necessarily include operational characteristics
such as speeds, rules and consequences
Conveys ideas in a powerful manner
Typically precedes more detailed analyses, including
simulation modeling
Applications include:
Concept planning
Dissemination of information (e.g., public involvement)
Sales and marketing

Description:
Tools:
Results:
Simulation Models
Analytical tools to represent time-dependent interactions
between random and/or planned events
Predict throughput, queues, capacity and utilization
Help define staffing, equipment and operational rules
Tools:
Airport terminal
Demonstrate use of agent
based modeling techniques
Model includes scale drawing of
terminal, plane arrival and
departure schedules, passenger
transit parameters and potential
retail locations
Custom .NET user interface,
AnyLogic simulation software
Tools:
Results:
Simulation Considerations
Maybe its not the best method
Only evaluates what the user tells it to evaluate
Time consuming and difficult to be proficient with a powerful
tool
Requires unique skill set (consulting, experimental design,
information systems)
Validation may be difficult
Garbage in leads to garbage out
Reliance on results may lead users to ignore other data

Simulation Benefits
Experiment without mock-ups
Avoid disturbing systems & people
Visualize under variety of conditions
Understand complex interactions
Provide an insurance policy
