Simulation Frameworks for Integrated Modeling [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents the results of the two-day workshop on simulation frameworks in integrated modeling from the 13th Conference of the International Association of Travel Behavior Researchers. In the workshop a variety of panelists discussed current simulation models which fall under the integrated transportation simulation model paradigm, general models which incorporate land-use modeling, activity-based modeling and network simulation. The aim of the workshop was to discuss emerging strategies for integrating the various components of a holistic urban simulation model, and to examine the most pressing research needs and necessary steps to take in order to advance the state of integrated simulation modeling. The discussion was focused around models representative of three primary integration strategies for combining two or more of the above mentioned model components. These strategies are sequential integration, parallel integration, and agent-based discrete-event simulation, the first two of which can also be implemented either in a loosely-coupled or unified software environment. The implications of the various integration strategies were discussed and a set of pressing research needs was developed, including advancing the understanding of behavioral processes in integrated urban models, expanding the models to incorporate various inter-agent interactions to a greater extent, developing a more theoretical underpinning for the solution strategies employed in integrated models, coping with data availability restrictions, computational limitations and computational techniques available to overcome those limitations.
