Researchers develop simulation models that emulate real-world situations. While these simulation models are simpler than the real situation, they are still quite complex and time consuming to develop. It is at this point that metamodeling can be used to help build a simulation study based on a complex model. A metamodel is a simpler, analytical model, auxiliary to the simulation model, which is used to better understand the more complex model, to test hypotheses about it, and provide a framework for improving the simulation study. The use of metamodels allows the researcher to work with a set of mathematical functions and analytical techniques to test simulations without the costly running and re-running of complex computer programs. In addition, metamodels have other advantages, and as a result they are being used in a variety of ways: model simplification, optimization, model interpretation, generalization to other models of similar systems, efficient sensitivity analysis, and the use of the metamodel’s mathematical functions to answer questions about different variables within a simulation study.

Modelling and Simulation in the Social Sciences from the Philosophy of Science Point of View


Free Download Modelling and Simulation in the Social Sciences from the Philosophy of Science Point of View By G. Nigel Gilbert (auth.), Rainer Hegselmann, Ulrich Mueller, Klaus G. Troitzsch (eds.)
1996 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 9048147220 | PDF | 14 MB
Model building in the social sciences can increasingly rely on well elaborated formal theories. At the same time inexpensive large computational capacities are now available. Both make computer-based model building and simulation possible in social science, whose central aim is in particular an understanding of social dynamics. Such social dynamics refer to public opinion formation, partner choice, strategy decisions in social dilemma situations and much more. In the context of such modelling approaches, novel problems in philosophy of science arise which must be analysed – the main aim of this book. Interest in social simulation has recently been growing rapidly world- wide, mainly as a result of the increasing availability of powerful personal computers. The field has also been greatly influenced by developments in cellular automata theory (from mathematics) and in distributed artificial intelligence which provided tools readily applicable to social simulation. This book presents a number of modelling and simulation approaches and their relations to problems in philosophy of science. It addresses sociologists and other social scientists interested in formal modelling, mathematical sociology, and computer simulation as well as computer scientists interested in social science applications, and philosophers of social science.

CCGMA – loth Creation and Simulation for Real-Time


Free Download loth Creation and Simulation for Real-Time – CG Master Academy
Michele Ahn | Duration: 10:46 h | Video: H264 1920×1080 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 15,2 GB | Language: English
This course covers how to incorporate Marvelous Designer into cloth workflows for real-time character creation, from software basics to advanced techniques for creating realistic and stylized garments. The course will begin with an introduction to the software by creating modern, contemporary garments and then a deep dive into project workflow for highly detailed clothing of various materials using Marvelous Designer, Zbrush, and Unreal Engine. Not only will students learn how to use the software, but gain a deeper understanding of how to create realistic and appealing garments for AAA games.
Students will learn advanced techniques for Marvelous Designer, how to iterate between Marvelous Designer and Zbrush, how seams, stitching, and folds can aid in realism and appeal, and tricks for retopologizing cloth for quality bakes and animation. Students will complete multiple portfolio pieces, including contemporary costuming and fantasy garments based on provided concept art.

Die Simulation menschlichen Panikverhaltens Ein Agenten-basierter Ansatz


Free Download Die Simulation menschlichen Panikverhaltens: Ein Agenten-basierter Ansatz By Bernhard Schneider (auth.)
2011 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 3834815446 | PDF | 7 MB
Die Simulation menschlichen Verhaltens ist eine der größten Herausforderungen in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen zur Lösung von Fragestellungen mit sozialem, ökonomischem oder sicherheitsbezogenem Hintergrund. Bernhard Schneider stellt eine neue Anwendung für den Sicherheitsbereich vor, in dessen Zentrum die Untersuchung von Verhaltensweisen, Kontroll- und Evakuierungsstrategien zur Vermeidung von Panik bei Massenzusammenkünften jeglicher Art steht. Der Mensch wird dabei als psychosomatisches Individuum mit breitem Verhaltensspektrum verstanden, das von Motiven und emotionalen Impulsen angeregt wird. Es verfügt über kognitive Fähigkeiten und ist sozialen Kräften bei der Entstehung von Emotionen, Einstellungen und Handlungen unterworfen. Auf der Grundlage etablierter psychologischer Theorien und Erkenntnisse bildet ein neuer, ganzheitlicher Modellierungsansatz diese Aspekte menschlichen Verhaltens im Kontext realer Paniksituationen ab. Er basiert dabei technisch auf systemtheoretischen Prinzipien und projiziert reale Menschen auf autonome Agenten in der Simulation.
