Numerical experiments show that these features help in faster convergence to the optimal point.

Lazarova-Molnar, Z. Zheng, T. Roeder, and R. Thiesing, eds. December 13-16, 2020. Orlando, Florida, USA. P. 206-217.
We built agent-based model of terrorist and civilian and explored the process of evacuation during slashing attack. We formalized the attack process of terrorist using a finite state machine, and analyzed the characteristics of sharp weapons.

Kim, S. Lazarova-Molnar, Z. Zheng, T. Roeder, and R. Thiesing, eds. December 13-16, 2020. Orlando, Florida, USA. P. 2984-2995.
We study a ranking and selection problem with exponential sampling distributions. Under a Bayesian framework, we derive the posterior distribution of the performance parameter, and provide a normal approximation for the posterior distribution based on a central limit theorem to efficiently learn about the performance parameter.

Lazarova-Molnar, Z. Zheng, T. Roeder, and R. Thiesing, eds. December 13-16, 2020. Orlando, Florida, USA. P. 492-503.
We study the problem of simulating a class of nonstationary spatio-temporal Poisson processes. The Poisson intensity function is non-stationary and piecewise linear in both the time dimension and the spatial location dimensions. We propose an exact simulation algorithm based on the inversion method.
