Why?
• The decision making in the obstacles of technological and knowledge society is difficult due to complexity of processes
• The requirements for situations forecasting and transparency of the scenarios are topical due to high losses of possible faults and impact on the society and environment
• The varied, complex and non-compatible simulation tools can be used for solving the tasks mentioned above
UNITE, Riga, RTU, May 20, 2011
The Systems: The Real Systems - Sociotechnical
• Dual nature
• Complex structure
• Oriented to cognition and self-organization
• Distributed and heterogeneous simulation models
• Different technologies in the same framework
UNITE, Riga, RTU, May 20, 2011 8
The Systems: Technical, Social and Sociotechnical systems
• Traffic lights control system
• Driver (human) behaviour system

PROBLEMS
Lack of interdisciplinary knowledge (ICT (technical) + Logistics (social)) for both IT systems adminstrators and logistics managers have influence on quality of logistics services and bothering introduction of intelligent transportation systems
Learning is still time-consuming due to high capacity of teaching and training material, and limited time resources for training in classroom or e-learning use

INTRODUCTION
INCO-Copernicus Programme project AMCAI 0312 (1994-1997) “Application of Modern Concepts in the Automated Information
Management in Harbours by Using Advanced IT-Solutions”
Aimed to creating a united group of scientists that initiated a research on using experiences of leading European universities and technological institutions in management of logistics systems, e.g., at the biggest European seaports (for example, Rotterdam), in order to evaluate a possibility of using these experiences in Latvia.

FUTURE POLICY MODELLING
UNITE, Riga, RTU, May 20, 2011
FUPOL
• The FUPOL proposes a comprehensive new governance model to support the policy design and implementation lifecycle. The innovations are driven to support the policy domains in urban regions. • FUPOL policy models simulator design for the priority domains
UNITE, Riga, RTU, May 20, 2011
Simulation: Problem I: TOOLS
• Applied simulation technologies and tools are different, complex and non-compatible
• A few part of them can be used by domain experts without assistance of programmer and/or simulation specialist
UNITE, Riga, RTU, May 20, 2011
Simulation: Problem II: COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT
• Communication environments are expensive and difficult (HLA – expensive and overfull; CORBA – for programmers only)
• Solutions does not fit to new challenges of Future Internet and Cloud Simulation
UNITE, Riga, RTU, May 20, 2011
Simulation: Problem III: VISUALISATION
• Request for VR/AR use to enhance clearness and transparency of information input/output and layout design for simulation models
• Adaptability to available visualisation power resources of the simulator – from mainframes to desktops and from mobile phones to PDA
• Ability of 3D Future Internet services use for simulation results visualisation
