Argonne National Laboratory’s Developer of EMCAS Software Highlighted in Crain’s Chicago Business
Argonne National Laboratory’s Developer of EMCAS Software Highlighted in Crain’s Chicago Business
Michael North, Deputy Director of Argonne’s Center for Complex Adaptive Systems Simulation and co-developer of the EMCAS software distributed by ADICA, is highlighted in the December 8th issue of Crain’s Chicago Business.
“..You want to know where a real city’s electrical system is most vulnerable to terrorist attack, or how you can fix bottlenecks in a Fortune 500 company’s worldwide supply chain. Michael North, an Argonne National Laboratory software research engineer, tackles those and other real-world problems. He uses computers to model complex infrastructure, such as a city’s electrical grid and natural gas pipelines. His work has drawn the attention of the U.S. departments of Defense and Homeland Security and the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), among other agencies.
Currently, Mr. North is working with the ICC on a model of the state’s electric power grid to show what to expect when the system is fully deregulated in 2007—showing such things as the need to upgrade various transmission lines to avoid unstable prices. That takes massive amounts of data, fed into thousands of computerized “agents” that act both independently and interdependently of each other and their environment. No one can predict what will result from any single simulation, but run the program multiple times and the most likely outcomes can be observed.”
