3 collections related to Business -- Decision making -- Computer simulation

This collection contains materials collected over the course of Brian W. Hollocks' career from the 1960s to 1980s. Included are numerous computer simulation manuals and user guides created through operational research conducted by the United Steel Companies in the United Kingdom, as well as instruction sheets, circuit boards, and a video cassette. Brian W. Hollocks is a retired Professor of Management Science and Information Systems at Bournemouth University and was the INTEL Chair in Computer-Supported Co-operation. He is a Chartered (Mechanical) Engineer and holds a Ph.D. in Management Science from Southampton University. He taught and researched on simulation, computer-supported cooperative work, knowledge management, and artificial intelligence. Before his career in academia, Hollocks worked in business and industry, primarily in operational research and software development and marketing. Less

The collection includes publications, reprints, and papers relating to Ingolf Ståhl's work in computer simulation. His teaching at the Stockholm School of Economics has focused on the use of discrete-event simulation, or stochastic dynamic simulation. The collection discusses General Purpose Simulation Systems (GPSS) and its derivatives -- Micro-GPSS and WebGPSS. Ingolf Ståhl is professor emeritus of the Stockholm School of Economics. Ståhl began teaching computer simulation in 1976. Since then, he has instructed over 7,000 university and high school students in five countries. Initially, Ståhl's courses featured General Purpose Simulation Systems (GPSS) language. Later, he collaborated with Henry Herper and Richard G. Born to adapt this language to simpler versions for personal computers and the World Wide Web. Less
