Researchers have developed a hybrid simulation model combining Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) to create a digital twin of emergency departments. This model aims to explore and validate resource optimization strategies by replicating real-world ED dynamics and interventions. A proof-of-concept multi-agent system was integrated to autonomously discover resource allocation strategies within the simulated environment. AI
