This paper proposes the challenges introduced by the development of a simulation based DSS (Decision Support System) for maintenance of complex systems such as helicopters, trains, power plants. The paper proposes the simulation architecture devoted to face this level of complexity and the critical issue analysis related to its development.

The Process Industry represents a business sector currently affected by a positive trend in Fast Developing Areas; as result the Modeling & Simulation is becoming back pretty active in this sector to support plant engineering, automation and control solutions.In this paper, it is proposed a state of art about solutions in modeling Industrial...

This paper is focused on the development of a model for applying Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) on complex system by integrating simulation and artificial intelligence (AI); the application is related to maintenance planning of groups of gas turbine power plants. This paper will explain the reasons, the criticalities and the lessons...

In logistics and industrial production managers must deal with the impact of stochastic events to improve performances and reduce costs. In fact, production and logistics systems are generally designed considering some parameters as deterministically distributed. While this assumption is mostly used for preliminary prototyping, it is sometimes...

This paper proposes the development of conceptual models to used in a simulator for supporting operational planners in country reconstruction within complex scenarios affected by natural disasters, asymmetric warfare, crisis etc. The authors developed for this context a a special kind of IA (Intelligent Agents) driving CGF (Computer Generated...

The authors propose an approach for developing complex models integrating different components and including human behaviour; in these problems the data uncertainty as well as their availability is a major criticality; the paper proposes an approach for a mutual validation of the model and a fine tuning process based on integrating simulation...

The authors present the requirement definition and methodological approach for developing a new generation of Computer Generated Forces (CGF) based on Intelligent Agents. The analysis is based on the author initiative (PIOVRA) devoted to the development of High Level Architecture (HLA) components to be integrated for training, planning and...

The research proposes the development of a simulation model for supporting planning and training in Civil Military Cooperation and Psychological Operations. The authors present a new generation of CGF (Computer Generated Forces) driven by IA (Intelligent Agents) able to consider the human aspects as well as the impact of social networks on this...
