In some situations simulation is the best achievable option to make predictions in a scientifically proven way. It may be very expensive or simply impossible to carry out the real plan, yet, you may need key information about future scenarios. Computer based simulation is a cost- and time effective way to make successful decisions. Agent-based modeling is used when the key components of the system are individuals who have the ability to make decisions on their own or on a collective basis.
Agent-based simulation is very helpful in explaining collective behavior as a result of individual actions. Individual behavior is hard to predict, but there may be patterns that can describe the collective behavior. With the help of simulation you will be able to make better decisions, understand and optimize the performance or reliability of your complex systems, be that your organization, your supply or communications network.
Participatory simulation, an offspring of agent-based modeling, provides means for artificial agent - human interactions. In participatory models some or all agents can be controlled by individuals. These simulations enable providing training environments that are difficult, costly or even impossible to reproduce otherwise.

AITIA not only develops models in the field of agent-based and participatory simulations but also
tools that make developing, running, administrating, collecting results and analyzing data from
agent-based modeling simple and accessible for everyone. The Multi-Agent Simulation Suite (
MASS) is a software package intended to enable modelers utilize the tools of agent-based simulation in various fields, without having to develop heavy programming skills.

If you decide to work with us in modeling complex systems, we deliver customized simulation applications for your specific problems. We also offer our expertise via consulting your staff, in order to help finding the right model and strategy with your own efforts. In addition, our portfolio includes trainings and courses in modeling and simulation, in order to develop your in-house competence, in preparation for future decisions about your business and operation. In 2007 AITIA won the European Seal of e-Excellence award for its achievements in the field of simulations, telecommunications and speach recognition.
