Response To Sbp-Brims Data Challenge: Agent-Based Approach To Human Migration Movement, Lin Junjie, Larry, Kathleen M. Carley
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this work, we attempt to address the social question of international migration, and the resulting shifts in country populations. This is achieved through the development of a country-level agent-based dynamic network model to examine shifts in population given network relations among countries, which inuences overall population change.

Value-Inspired Service Design In Elderly Home-Monitoring Systems, Na Liu, Sandeep Purao, Hwee-Pink Tan

The provision of elderly home-monitoring systems to enhance aging-in-place requires the service to meet the needs of both the elderly and their caregivers. The design of such IT services requires interdisciplinary efforts to look beyond the technical requirements. Taking a value-inspired design perspective, the study argues that service design for promoting aging-in-place needs to reconcile the values of both the elderly and caregivers. Drawn from the framework of basic human values and the unique experience of the SHINESeniors project, the study extracts the core values for elderly and caregivers using a multi-method case analysis. We suggest that both system and …
Scenario-Based Simulation Game For Hospital Beds Capacity Planning In Singapore, Cheong, Michelle L. F., Li Siong Lim
Scenario-Based Simulation Game For Hospital Beds Capacity Planning In Singapore, Cheong, Michelle L. F., Li Siong Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A complete learning object with scenario-based simulation game and accompanying materials, which allows self-directed learners to learn and apply the theory, concepts and calculations for capacity planning, in the hospital beds capacity planning scenario in Singapore, was designed, developed and immplemented. It guides the learners through the key considerations for capacity planning, the computation of actual capacity needed, deciding the time for capacity increments, as well as the economies and diseconomies of scale when adding capacity. All the learnings are applied in a scenario where the learners make decision on how much and when to add hospital beds to existing …
