Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Advances in Management, Economics and Social Science
This proceeding is a part of Second International Conference on Advances in Management, Economics and Social Science (MES) which was held at Rome, Italy from 18-19 April, 2015 to This conference was organized by Institute of Research Engineers and Doctors. The world is changing. From shopping malls to transport terminals, aircraft to passengerships, the infrastructure of society has to cope with ever more intense and complex flows of people. Today, more than ever, safety, efficiency and comfort are issues that mustbe addressed by all designers. The World Trade Centre disaster brought into tragic focusthe need for well-designed evacuation systems. The new regulatory framework in the marine industry, acknowledges not only the importance of ensuring that the built environment is safe, but also the central role that evacuation simulation can play in achieving this. An additional need is to design spaces for efficiency – ensuring that maximum throughputcan be achieved during normal operations – and comfort – ensuring that the resulting flows offer little opportunity for needless queuing or excessive congestion. These complexdemands challenge traditional prescriptive design guides and regulations. Designers and regulators are consequently turning to performance-based analysis and regulations facilitated by the new generation of people movement models. When a greater changes are achieved these past years, still more is to be achieved whichstill seems to be blue sky of 1970’s. But for all the challenges, capabilities continue to advance at phenomenal speed. Even three years ago it may have been considered a challenge to perform a network design involving the evacuation of 45,000 people from a 120 story building, but with today’s sophisticated modelling tools and high-end PCs, this is now possible. Today’s challenges are much more ambitious and involve simulating the movement and behaviour of over one million people in city-sized geometries. The management of these network is also easy and more specifically all the 45,000 people can be monitored by a single person sitting in his cabin. This has been the evidence of the development these days. As such, the conference represents a unique opportunity for experts and beginners to gain insight into the rapidly. It thus provides a forum for exchange of information and ideas between engineers, scientists, researchers, graduates and post-graduates. Sustainability has specifically been chosen as the theme of this conference recognizing the importance of management of network. It is hoped that this Proceeding will be a useful source of reference to Management, Economics and Social Science Professionals.
