Abstract In a globalized, connected world we often see the phenomena of disruption, where a new player in the market takes away a substantial part of the market share of the former big players by using technology or new ideas. This dissertation is to evaluate the general potential of disruptive innovations in the sector of construction and its initial scientific question is: Is it possible, that new market players or new products have a big enough influence in this industry, to change the current business models? In order to find an answer to this question, the author analyses in the first chapter the general economic specialties of this industry in comparison to others and shows, where other research has led to until now. The methodology is to distinguish fields of innovation with disruptive potential, in order to point out ways to adopt the current business models accordingly. Based on that, the author evaluates in chapter two the potential fields of disruptive innovation, where innovation in construction happens in general, and then their economic potential and implementation level. Furthermore, the author analyzes, which theories of disruption are applicable to construction and develops a questionnaire to quantify disruption potential in different innovation fields. Those results show the disruptive potential regarding to single innovation topics.

Special Issue EUROSIM Congress 2019 SNE 32(1), the 2nd SNE Special Issue ‘EUROSIM Congress 2019’, comprises a selection of outstanding contributions of the EUROSIM Congress 2019 which took place in July 2019 University of Logrono, La Rioja, Spain. The EUROSIM Congress is the tri-annual family meeting of the European simulation societies, among them CEA-SMSG, the Spanish, ASIM – the German, DBSS – The Dutch-Benelux, SLOSIM – the Slovenian, and SIMS – the Scandinavian simulation society. For us, the members of the Special . . .

Editorial SNE 31(4) – Promotion Issue MATHMOD 2022 & ASIM 2022 SNE 31(4), the SNE Promotion Issue MATHMOD 2022 & ASIM 2022, is a ‘special’ SNE Special Issue. It aims for promotion of the conferences MATHMOD 2022 and ASIM 2022, and for promotion of SNE itself Both conferences are EUROSIM conferences, with special offers for members of EUROSIM societies. MATHMOD Vienna is a triennial conference series on Mathematical Modelling, usually held in February at TU Vienna. The last MATHMOD conference took place February 2018, next MATHMOD should take place February 2021, and had because of Corona pandemics to be shifted to February 2022. The organizers, TU Vienna, IFAC, and ASIM, the German simulation society had in mind to organize a conference ‘as it was’, with personal participation. ASIM, also upset about the inflation of virtual . . .

Seamless Transportation ist ein strategisches Ziel und Schlüsselfaktor im modernen Güterverkehr sowie an multimodalen Knoten. In den Smart Hubs 2.0 der Zukunft sollen makroskopisch die Effektivität und Effizienz des Gesamtverkehrssystems, die ressourcensparende Nutzung bestehender und geplanter Umschlagsflächen des Güterverkehrs sowie die Resilienz des Verkehrssystems gegenüber Störungen bei optimaler Abstimmung unterschiedlicher logistischer Prozesse verbessert werden.
