For questions regarding these areas of research, please contact Prof. Dietmar Jannach (dietmar.jannach [at] aau.at).

Additional areas of interest include:
* simulation-based research methods (e.g., agent-based simulation, multi-agent simulation, Monte-Carlo simulation),
* modelling of economic systems,
* decision-theory,
* energy informatics,
* networked autonomous systems,
* diffusion processes,
* decision-making and judgment,
* management control systems,
* quantitative research methods,
