During the past years, Cellular Automata (CAs) have been extensively used for modeling of many complex systems and processes with great success. In this paper, we study a Cellular Automaton (CA) model for the influence of employees' behavior in a parameterized workplace environment taking into account different behavioral characteristics. In specific, we model employees' interactions based on their influence radius, the degree of their willingness on adaption of organizational norms and the employee's attitude in general in the under study workplace. The proposed CA model is taking into account employee loyalty, a combined statistic of the employee behavior and her/his insistence and company policies applied to the employees so as to restrain unwanted or impose desirable behavioral patterns in correspondence to the organization norms. Conclusively, the CA model facilitates the presentation and simulation of a workplace with a variety of employee behavioral characteristics and under adaptable company policies. Different workplaces were used to illustrate the simulation of employee behavior with CA model. As a result, the proposed model was practically used on two levels, firstly to estimate the workplace robustness and secondly to illustrate workspace dynamics. Finally, the CA model has been utilized to simulate behavioral patterns at a small enterprise in Greece. In specific, based on the employees answers to detailed surveys the CA model was initialized and then applied to describe the behavioral traits of the under study company employees. Finally, the proposed model, in all the examined cases can be utilized in conjunction with applied employee management techniques to facilitate managerial decisions and forecast the impact of employee behavioral changes and company decisions.

Most organizations - whether software or otherwise - have a statement of mission, a vision for the future, and values that help them get there. People, on the other hand, have a wide range of ideas, beliefs and objectives. How does one reconcile the two? Otherwise put: how do work practices and ethics that are important from an organizational standpoint get inculcated in employees? We propose a Human Behavior Change model and apply it to the context of ethics spread in software organizations. The model is founded upon an internal cost-reward function of individuals and transmission effect between people that contributes to the decision to change and comply with certain ethics and practices. We use Agent Based modeling and simulation (ABMS) technique to represent our model. We experiment with virtual teams and create various scenarios to understand ethic spread. Although our larger aim is to model behavior change, in this early stage of our work, we build models to know how ethics spread through change in compliance behavior. We base our study on existing literature, a limited survey, some assumptions and simulation. Through simulation, we also seek to ask associated questions related to team size and compliance, spread of counter-ethics, message mechanism and speed of spread and the 'mean time to change' for different types of individuals.

Biological pathways typically consist of dozens of reacting chemical species and hundreds of equations describing reactions within the biological system. modeling and simulation of such biological pathways in explicit process space is a computationally intensive due to the size of the system complexity and nature of the interactions. Such biological pathways exhibit considerable behavioral complexity in multiple fundamental cellular processes. Hence, there is a strong need for new underlying simulation algorithms as well as need for newer computing platforms, systems and techniques. In this work we present a novel heterogeneous computing platform to accelerate the simulation study of such complex biochemical pathways in 3D reaction process space. Several tasks involved in the simulation study has been carefully partitioned to run on a combination of reconfigurable hardware and a massively parallel processor, such as the GPU. This paper also presents an implementation to accelerate one of the most compute intensive tasks - sifting through the reaction space to determine reacting particles. Finally, we present the new heterogeneous computing framework integrating a FPGA and GPU to accelerate the computation and obtain better performance over the use of any single platform. The platform achieves 5x total speedup when compared to a single GPU-only platform. Besides, the extensible architecture is general enough to be used to study a variety of biological pathways in order to gain deeper insights into biomolecular systems.
