Multilevel modeling is increasingly relevant in the context of modelling and simulation since it leads to several potential benefits, such as software reuse and integration, the split of semantically separated levels into sub-models, the possibility to employ different levels of detail, and the potential for parallel execution. The coupling that inevitably exists between the sub-models, however, implies the need for maintaining consistency between the various components, more so when different simulation paradigms are employed (e.g., sequential vs parallel, discrete vs continuous). In this paper we argue that multilevel modelling is well suited for the simulation of human mobility, since it naturally leads to the decomposition of the model into two layers, the “micro” and “macro” layer, where individual entities (micro) and long-range interactions (macro) are described. In this paper we investigate the challenges of multilevel modeling, and describe some preliminary results using prototype implementations of multilayer simulators in the context of epidemic diffusion and vehicle pollution.

In this paper a pedestrian model is introduced that builds on the Social Force Model and enhances it with various features. The main goal of this model is to produce more natural looking pedestrian movements in 3D-visualizations. This model aims to generate more realistic trajectories in situations where pedestrians evade each other, for example on narrow sidewalks. Unlike the Social Force Model, it takes the current velocity and walking direction of surrounding pedestrians into account. Additionally, this model lets pedestrians react on approaching opponents sooner and reduces unnatural body rotations. Through the above mentioned features, collisions of pedestrians are reduced, as well.

In order to monitor and assess the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, we propose a Distributed Digital Twin that virtually mirrors a hemodialysis unit in a hospital in Toronto, Canada. Since the solution involves heterogeneous components, we rely on the IEEE HLA distributed simulation standard. Based on the standard, we use an agent-based/discrete event simulator together with a virtual reality environment in order to provide to the medical staff an immersive experience that incorporates a platform showing predictive analytics during a simulation run. This can help professionals monitor the number of exposed, symptomatic, asymptomatic, recovered, and deceased agents. Agents are modeled using a redesigned version of the susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) model. A contact matrix is generated to help identify those agents that increase the risk of the virus transmission within the unit.

The need for effective simulation techniques, when studying the performance of portfolio investments in financial applications, was recognized since it was observed that backtesting typically introduces significant bias. However, while Monte Carlo simulations are commonly used in this application scenario, up to now no general frameworks have been proposed. This paper describes a general modeling and simulation framework that is used to study how allocation schemes perform when different synthetic time series generation models are employed. Moreover, we devised a novel portfolio allocation scheme where assets are nodes of a complex network and communities of correlated assets are detected and measured by means of modularity. Allocation is than obtained by equally distributing weights among different communities. We compare this novel scheme against state-of-the-art approaches in various scenarios, under Gaussian, Geometric Brownian motion and ARFIMA generation models. Results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the others in many scenarios.

Classical simulation methods become not flexible and performant enough in complex models, necessitating the use of a distributed simulation technique to split the load and heterogeneity into separate sub-components and manage the simulation time between them. In this type of simulation, interoperability and reusability issues arise and should be addressed. The IEEE High-Level Architecture (HLA) standard for distributed simulation emphasizes federates interoperability and reusability, as well as time management and advanced data distribution techniques. This paper presents the methodologies and techniques used to develop the HLA federates, as part of the Simulation Exploration Experience (SEE) project, to virtually recreate a mission on the moon. This project is organized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO). For each SEE component, an HLA interface was developed to make it compliant with other SEE federates and reusable during the simulation run. Based on HLA mechanisms, heterogeneous components with an HLA interface were able to interexchange objects/attributes and interactions/parameters.

Road traffic simulation is one of the useful tools, which can help to cope with steadily increasing intensity of road traffic. A distributed or parallel computing environment can significantly speedup the simulation execution, but the road traffic network division is usually required. There are many existing methods for road traffic network division based on various approaches. However, there is a lack of surveys mapping these methods. For this reason, this paper is a survey of existing methods for road traffic network division published in last two decades. It is not a systematic review, as it does not try to answer specific scientific questions. Its purpose is to map and categorize the existing methods for road traffic network division and to summarize their common features. Such a survey can be useful as a good starting point for the related work exploration for any teams or individuals dealing with road traffic network division and distributed or parallel road traffic simulation.
