RFID Applications and Potentials

The economy of the 21st-century enterprise is driven by efficiency, which, among other initiatives, requires enterprise business processes and workflows to be supported by adequate information technology to achieve this efficiency. Information technology plays a key role in transforming enterprises, especially through the way these enterprises conduct business and interact with partners and customers

Towards a Center for Modeling and Simulation: The Case for Jordan

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) has recently become an important area that is pursued by many researchers and practitioners due to the role it plays in understanding complex systems and problems. We have therefore witnessed the establishment of many M&S organizations in the last two decades especially in the more developed world. Less developed countries are starting to recognize the need for such capability especially that the problems they face are not less complex. In this paper, we present a preliminary study towards a business plan for establishing a scientific center for Modeling, Analysis, Simulation and Animation in Jordan (JoSAMA) and the value it can bring to the academic, industrial and governmental communities in Jordan and potentially in the Middle East. This effort was funded by the Fulbright Specialist Program and hosted by the German-Jordanian University, Amman, Jordan

An Agent Based Approach for Simulating DEMO Enterprise Models

AbstractDEMO (design and engineering methodology for organization) is a theoretically grounded methodology for rigorous enterprise modeling. It provides relevant concepts from a construction perspective. As the methodology gains a wider audience, there is a growing interest in simulating DEMO models. Most attempts to develop a simulation approach for enterprise models in general, and the DEMO methodology in particular, are based on process oriented conceptualizations that are typically implementation in a discrete event paradigm. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for the translation of DEMO models into an agent based simulation. We will describe the DEMO methodology in some detail and present a domain model that translates its most salient concepts in a form that makes it amenable to agent based simulation
