We are currently working on "A Discrete-Event Simulation Approach to Project the Prison Population in the UK over the next 10 years". All the data is currently available we need someone with experience in simulation model platforms such as: InsightMaker.
The main purpose is to simulate the prison population over the next 10 years and compare it to the current certified normal accommodation (CNA) and to the maximum capacity
This will allow to see the likelihood of prisons being overcrowded and also allow a view of if a situation of not having the capacity to deal with the number of prisoners in the system will arise.
Useful Knowledge required: System Dynamics, Agent Basednand Discrete Event (Process‐centric) modeling.
The project is quite complex and ita report writing.
For more information please get in touch. only if you have knowledge on the methods and platforms stated above.
Thanks!
=====================================
Literature Review. Give a short critical literature review on simulation applied to the chosen problem, or
class of problems. (min 5 different papers)
1. Problem & System Description. Project goal. Choice of performance measures. Include a system sketch or
flow diagram. What assumptions are you making about the system? Describe relationships between key
variables, if any. Describe the pros and cons of various types of simulation (DES, Monte-
Carlo/spreadsheet, ABS, SD) in relation to your problem.
2. Key Data. Data sources: How were data collected? List major assumptions. Show the fitted distributions,
including their p-values.
3. Insight Maker.) Correct usage of modules; layout; use of animation. Include a
printout of the base case model;. Originality
4. Experimentation & Output Analysis. Describe experiments that you ran with the model.
Organize/summarize output in at most 3 pages using graphs, tables.
