The solution of the diffusion equation at the non-stationary boundary represents the so-called Stefan problem which can be solved by means of the thermal potential of a double-layer with the accuracy sufficient for description of diffusion phenomena. The results were methods for determination of...

Biproportional apportionment methods provide two-way proportionality in electoral systems where the electoral region is subdivided into electoral districts. The problem is to assign integral values to the elements of a matrix that are proportional to a given input matrix, and such that a set of...

In order to properly evaluate the thermal energy performance of buildings it is also necessary to analyse the use of daylight, since this influences the thermal load of a building. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the calculation of internal illuminances carried out using...

Bringing together an international group of researchers involved in military, business, and health modeling and simulation, Conceptual Modeling for Discrete-Event Simulation presents a comprehensive view of the current state of the art in the field. The book addresses a host of issues,...

When running agent-based simulations using ready-made components, one usually faces heterogenity problems both for the agents implementation and for the underlying platform. To circumvent these kind of hindrances, we introduce a wrapper technique for mapping the functionality of agents living in...

Das ZEW und die Universität Mannheim haben mit ihrem Computersimulationsprogramm "European TaxAnalyzer" die Auswirkungen der Steuerreformen in Deutschland und in Frankreich für eine repräsentative mittelständische Kapitalgesellschaft des verarbeitenden Gewerbes untersucht...
