Researcher: Dr Peer-Olaf Siebers
Research Institution: University of Nottingham
Overview:
Dr Peer-Olaf Siebers from the University of Nottingham is seeking industry partners to support research projects and knowledge transfer partnerships.
Product:
• Design methods from software engineering are used to formally define active objects for example, passengers, staff members or vehicles and integrate these into process oriented simulation models;
Market:
• Those interested in modeling the performance of service systems;
• Those interested in testing security arrangements with hypothetical scenarios;
• Examples of every day uses include passport checking, vehicle security checking and security at mass events.
Benefits:
• Simulations of service systems allow for the consideration of processes as well as human behaviour;
• Such simulations can be used to more effectively allocate resources, identify savings and performance improvements; and
• Such simulations can also be used to model different hypothetical thread scenarios and the consequences of decisions made by staff.
Partners:
Industry partners are sought to support research projects and knowledge transfer partnerships.
