Modelling and Analysing Human Behaviour in a Department Store using Discrete Event and Agent Based Simulation

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a very popular simulation technique in Operational Research. Recently, there has been the emergence of another technique, namely Agent Based Simulation (ABS). Although there is a lot of literature relating to DES and ABS, we have found less that focuses on explorin...
