Armenia S et al. - Public transit strikes are disrupting normal passenger behavior and force a change in travel patterns. Despite their significance, their study in the literature is limited. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate what are the effects of public transit strikes on passengers’ behavior in an urban environment.
Armenia S et al. - This paper discusses how a complex-systems perspective can shed light on the analysis of complex food-systems meeting urban food needs. The common features between complex systems and Food Supply and Distribution Systems (FSDS) are explored.

Armenia S, Tsaples G, Carlini C - In today's world booding and bombing attacks can generate domino-effects due to the interconnected nature of Critical Infrastructures. To facilitate decisionmakers take successful decisions, many scholars support a kind of learning that emphasizes active engagement.
Armenia S, Barile S, Iandolo F - Aim of this paper is to propose the design and development of an Interactive Environment through a system dynamics model that, based on the conceptualizations of vSa, makes it possible to simulate the behavior of business organizations interested in measuring, and eventually increasing, their sustainable value.
Armenia S et al. - Closing down a transportation system for one or more days due to a potential terrorist attack is not a measure that decision-makers tend to take lightly.
