Querying histories of organisation simulations

Industrial Dynamics involves system modelling, simulation and evaluation leading to policy making. Traditional approaches to industrial dynamics use expert knowledge to build top-down models that have been criticised as not taking into account the adaptability and sociotechnical features of modern organisations. Furthermore, such models require a-priori knowledge of policy-making theorems. This paper advances recent research on bottom-up agent-based organisational modelling for Industrial Dynamics by presenting a framework where simulations produce histories that can be used to establish a range of policy-based theorems. The framework is presented and evaluated using a case study that has been implemented using a toolset called ES

Can organisational theory and multi-agent systems influence next generation enterprise modelling?

This paper proposes that the current enterprise modelling approaches are overly reliant on the know how or tacit knowledge of enterprise architects for addressing organisational challenges such as business-IT alignment. Furthermore, current modelling languages only encourage linear thinking. By drawing upon existing research on (computational) organisation theory and multi-agent systems, we propose implementation requirements for a next generation enterprise modelling language that supports agent based simulation. The language is motivated by a detailed case study that illustrates the benefit of using simulation style languages
