In this paper, we explore two modeling approaches to understanding the dynamics of infectious diseases in the population: equation-based modeling (EBM) and agent-based modeling (ABM). To achieve this, a comparative study of these approaches was conducted and we highlighted their advantages and disadvantages. Two case studies on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic were carried out using both approaches. The results obtained show that differential equation-based models are faster but still simplistic, while agent-based models require more machine capabilities but are more realistic and very close to biology. Based on these outputs, it seems that the coupling of both approaches could be an interesting compromise.
The emergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the early 1990s, particularly the Internet, made it easy to produce data and distribute it to the rest of the world. Today's business information systems contain data that is more massive, complex and heterogeneous. The increase in complexity, globalization and collaborative work mean that an industrial project (product design) requires the participation and collaboration of actors who come from several fields and workplaces. Information retrieval is an essential function for any information system. However, the latter is never easy as it always represents a major bottleneck for all organizations. In the environment of complex, heterogeneous and multi-use data, providing all users with easy and simple access to data becomes more difficult due to lack of technical skills or different user perspectives.
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) being a business strategy that aims to create, manage and share all the definition, manufacturing, maintenance and recycling information of an industrial product, throughout its life cycle. life, from preliminary studies to end of life and Big data, the collection of large data sets that are complex and difficult to analyze by traditional data processing methods.
In this context, this article proposes to establish the main obstacles to the deployment of Big data in PLM systems (the collection of data from the PLM system, the storage and transfer of data in the PLM, the processing of data based on industrialization knowledge and experience, data security and visualization, etc.). The objective is to apply methodologies related to Big data to the management of product configurations (management of product diversity in connection with the development of mass customization (mass customization)).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
