Attendance Software Design and modelling
There are many software that has been developed to enable simulation of
social and natural phenomena. Among them is Attendance software, which is a modelling
environment. It is suited for modelling of complex systems that developed based
within a given timespan. The developer tools allow the addition of workers that operate independently,
as well as interacting workers. As such, it allows
the simulation of employees management flow by considering the micro-level behaviors, whose interactions lead
to the occurrence of macro patterns. At
the same time, Attendance allows students
and tutors to create their models for research.
Using the library provided, Attendance
allows the users to download a given agent and provide a specified condition,
such as performance, direction and time.

management modelling and simulation
In the process of modeling and
simulation, the first step is to define the model. Here, objects and workers
representation are decided, as well as
the parameters of each agent (Zhu, Hong, Patrick AV Hall, and John HR May, 2016). Here, the hr managers, staff
members, software, employees management systems, relations and abnormal occurrences, such as accidents are
defined.
3.1.1.1. Modelling staff attendance
The staff
is modelled as individual entities as
well as the hr managers. In this case,
the staff parameters that are defined
include maximum performance, maximum acceleration,
and deceleration. These parameters enable the establishment
of the rate of buildup of queues as well as discharging of the queus.
Modelling hr managers applications
This process entails identification and
representation of the behavior of hr managers, regarding
their reaction to micro and macro goals. Macro goals include the routes taken, where
the initial point and destination are the determinant of the route (Lansdowne, 2016). They entail the daily planning and route generation
properties. On the other hand, micro
goals entail decisions that a driver and
make at each point in the Agent-based
model, where their aim is to achieve the macro goal.
Outdoor attendance application
The environment is modelled as the offices network, which has link sections, relations as
well as control features. In this case, direction and use restrictions are considered
as additional parameters, since the direction
will determine the decisions made by the hr managers. The links also have
length, the number of software as well as
the performance limit.
