This paper considers the azimuthal rotation of melt about the vertical axis of a DC EAF, which is ensured by an inclined installation of the power supply electrodes, which is a patented solution that is the basis for this article. Near inclined electrodes, the Lorentz force has a pronounced azimuthal component, which is the driver of the melt rotation without an external axial magnetic field - thus, additional energy consumption to create an external magnetic field is not necessary. The main design and technological solutions, formulated in the patent and presented by the authors, were obtained using observations and numerical LES study for a laboratory-scale experimental setup (capacity 4.8 kg of GaInSn), as well as using LES computations for an industrial-scale DC EAF (capacity 3.6 t of molten steel). Basic technological solutions studied: the flow of the melt may be controlled by varying the number of vertical and inclined electrodes of DC EAF, choosing the angle of inclination of the electrodes as well as choosing the sequence of turning on and turning off power supply through the electrodes.

Integrated circuits (ICs) are an integral part of modern electronic hardware devices. The design cycle for ICs is getting shorter and shorter as the market demands new generations of ICs that are more reliable, use less energy and are equipped with new functionalities. Additionally, only a single, first-time-right, tape-out is targeted in the design cycle to save high production costs. That means that all effort needs to be put on model-based system design and verification far before the IC enters production, validation, and customer release. As a key requirement, the IC models must predict the performance and the behavior of the IC more accurately and all possible failure modes must be identified and eliminated upfront. In this short paper, we describe how we applied Software Product Line (SPL) techniques to our existing IC model simulation framework to support these challenges. Utilizing SPL, we split the simulation flows and IC settings from the front end parameters and IC model components to manage runtime and compile time variability more efficiently. In each simulation, the front end and IC model components for the IC generation of interest are loaded. With this approach we execute a high number of simulations of multiple different parameters and settings in parallel. As a result, we simulate more scenarios in less time. We show that this approach saves our team two to three weeks when setting up new IC revisions while mitigating redundant code. Additionally, we can compile subsets of the simulation framework more easily to deploy stand-alone debugging and system design tools for internal and external customers. With this work we want the emphasize the use of SPL techniques beyond traditional software engineering domain.

In this paper, we conducted a structured literature review of 98 contributions that have been classified to investigate the impact of simulation techniques to model more sustainable Supply Chains (SCs). A massive number of resources are still being used to make and manage products, with the availability of natural resources that is becoming scarcer every day. This poses a challenge that supply chain management must address, coupled with enhanced customer awareness for environmental issues. Recent strategies to solve these issues include concepts such as the Circular Economy and Circular Supply Chain Management. The latter, in fact, integrates Circular Economy principles to enable the transition from Linear Supply Chain networks to circular models. simulationmodelling techniques, such as Discrete-Event and Agent-Based simulation, are well-known solutions that support SC planning and design. As such, they can also support the transition towards circular SCs. Our findings highlight a lack of Closed-Loop and Circular Supply Chain network models, and clearly show that further investigation is required to comprehend and evaluate the effectiveness of simulation for Circular and Closed-Loop SC planning and design.

Contemporarily, the random walk is widely applied in the field of finance, suggests that the history stock price has no relation or impact on the stock price tomorrow, i.e., the direction the of stock price is entirely random and unpredictable. This paper investigates random walk simulation in Finance based on the information retrieval and literature review. According to the analysis, if one holds the strong belief in the random walk theory, well-perform ETH or portfolio strongly relevant to core Index (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq) will be a proper choice for investors. Otherwise, if one holds that the price movements are inherit connected instead of random variation, statistic evaluation (also known as technical analysis) can be applied to earn with extra returns via time-selection trading actively and positively. Based on enough trials, this paper will try to explore the nature and patterns of random process, which sheds light on future stock price prediction and explanation.

Cause-effect graphs have been applied in non agent-based simulations, where they are used to model chained causal relations between input parameters and system behaviour measured by appropriate indicators. This can be useful for the analysis and interpretation of simulations. However, multi-agent simulations shift the paradigm of chained causal relations to multiple levels of detail and abstraction. Thus, conventional cause-effect graphs need to be extended to capture the hierarchical structure of causal relations in multi-agent models. In this paper, we present a graphical modelling method that we call Multi-Agent modelling Notation (MAMN), with which global aspects of the simulation as well as detailed interior mechanisms of agent behaviour can be described. We give proof of concept by showing how the logic that connects individual agent behaviour to global outcomes in a previously published simulation model can be expressed in a concise diagrammatic form. This provides understanding into what drives the model behaviour without having to study source code. We go on to discuss benefits and limitations as well as new opportunities that arise from this type of model analysis.
