Digital twin technology has emerged as a powerful paradigm for modelling, simulating, and managing complex systems virtually across their lifecycle. However, as digitalisation efforts grow exponentially and the endeavours to digitise more objects ...

This is an extended abstract about the research regarding theory of cellular automata: an overall overview of the past and current investigations along with an outlook on some promising research directions.

Cellular automata (CA) exemplify systems where simple local interaction rules can lead to intricate and complex emergent phenomena at large scales. The various types of dynamical behavior of CA are usually categorized empirically into Wolfram’s ...

Responding to recent questioning of Learning Analytics (LA) as a field that is achieving its aim of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs, this paper argues that there is a need to genuinely embrace the complexity ...

In the dynamic landscape of technological advancements, the Digital Twin is emerging as a powerful aid with the potential to transform traditional decision-making approaches for diverse complex systems. Technically, it offers a paradigm shift in our ...

The Transformation Maps, developed and maintained by the World Economic Forum's Strategic Intelligence Platform, serve as a systems thinking tool aimed at visualizing and analyzing complex global challenges and interconnected factors. While the ...

Decision makers often leverage causal and predictive scientific models, enabling them to better estimate the behavior of a physical or social system and explore several possible outcomes of a policy before actually enacting it. However, these ...

• Existing heuristic methods lack adaptability and applicability.
• A data driven ...

Vital node identification is the problem of finding nodes of highest importance in complex networks. This problem has crucial applications in various contexts such as viral marketing or controlling the propagation of virus or rumours ...

In the past decade, we have witnessed the rise of deep learning to dominate the field of artificial intelligence. Advances in artificial neural networks alongside corresponding advances in hardware accelerators with large memory capacity, together with ...

Complex adaptive systems are characterized by exhibiting macroscopic-level behaviors for which it is very difficult to obtain generalized descriptions based solely on knowing the dynamics of all microscopic components. An essential aspect of these ...

In this paper, we developed a virtual exposition as a model to visualize and demonstrate the dynamic and non-linear affordances of a learning rhizome. Virtual expositions are non-linear multimodal web installations that facilitate the creation of ...

This position paper addresses the field of cities, mobility, and climate change. We claim that the challenge is no longer just only individual interfaces for individual cars or mobility providers, but rather an overhaul of overall mobility systems and ...

We are witnessing a great effort on the part of the educational systems of the world in modernizing the curricular content of primary and secondary schools. One example of these educational initiatives is the effort of integrating aspects of engineering ...

Over the years dashboards have become an essential part of managers’ toolkit. The recent developments in the field of IT allowed companies to build complex monitoring and metric-driven solutions for their business needs. The increasing amount of ...

The Smart Grid is the leading example when talking about complex and critical systems. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) represents an appropriate approach for the mastery of this complexity. However, achieving full traceability between the model ...

In this paper, we present results of in silico simulation of dendritic electroless silver colony growth model on a hexagonal cellular automata lattice. A cellular automaton, based on a NetLogo framework, was used to replicate the behavior of a ...

Being empowered with the appropriate toolset will enable decision-makers to analyze how best to intervene in ever-changing complex systems. This research project explored deconstructing qualitative methods to identify and document requirements to ...

Conceptualising and developing a new software solution is always a daunting task, even more so when existing technologies of international partners are to be integrated into a unique and holistic product, as is the case in many international research ...

Almost all spatial systems can be modelled as networks. Typically, networks representations of real systems are static, useful for generating descriptive network measures. However, recent interest lies in the representation and analysis of evolving ...

STEM education was created as a unifying curricular paradigm in which students were educated in four distinct disciplines: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, in an interdisciplinary and integrated way. First developed in USA, STEM ...
