dynamic simulation for the optimization of space at Vienna University of technology concerning the project UniverCity 2015

01.10.2008 - 31.12.2011
Proprietary project
Discrete Event Simulation (DEVS) has been used for a long time in prodution und logistic systems., and in some other areas of resource mangement. Planning and resource management for facilty management and room allocation is a new application area for DEVS. The project MoreSpacee, an internal project of Vienn University of Technology (TU Vienna) , makes use of dynamic discrete simulation for dynamic resource planning and dynamic lecture room allocation for lecture rooms at TU Vienna, based on curricula and student data. For simulation, the DEVS simulator ED - Enterprise Dynamics is used, the models are automatically generated from adminstration data of TU Vienna, with interfaces to TUWIS and TISS. 'MopreSpace' is a joint project of GUT - Dev. 'Gebäude und Technik' (G. Hodecek), Inst. for Analysis and Scientific Computing - Mathematical Modelling and Simulation (F. Breitenecker), and Inst. for 'Städtebau, Landschaftsarchitektur und Entwerfen' - Project Development and Project Planning (D. Wiegand).
