Book Methods and Tools for Efficient Model Based Development of Cyber Physical Systems with Emphasis on Model and Tool Integration

Download or read book Methods and Tools for Efficient Model Based Development of Cyber Physical Systems with Emphasis on Model and Tool Integration written by Alachew Mengist and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model-based tools and methods are playing important roles in the design and analysis of cyber-physical systems before building and testing physical prototypes. The development of increasingly complex CPSs requires the use of multiple tools for different phases of the development lifecycle, which in turn depends on the ability of the supporting tools to interoperate. However, currently no vendor provides comprehensive end-to-end systems engineering tool support across the entire product lifecycle, and no mature solution currently exists for integrating different system modeling and simulation languages, tools and algorithms in the CPSs design process. Thus, modeling and simulation tools are still used separately in industry. The unique challenges in integration of CPSs are a result of the increasing heterogeneity of components and their interactions, increasing size of systems, and essential design requirements from various stakeholders. The corresponding system development involves several specialists in different domains, often using different modeling languages and tools. In order to address the challenges of CPSs and facilitate design of system architecture and design integration of different models, significant progress needs to be made towards model-based integration of multiple design tools, languages, and algorithms into a single integrated modeling and simulation environment. In this thesis we present the need for methods and tools with the aim of developing techniques for numerically stable co-simulation, advanced simulation model analysis, simulation-based optimization, and traceability capability, and making them more accessible to the model-based cyber physical product development process, leading to more efficient simulation. In particular, the contributions of this thesis are as follows: 1) development of a model-based dynamic optimization approach by integrating optimization into the model development process; 2) development of a graphical co-modeling editor and co-simulation framework for modeling, connecting, and unified system simulation of several different modeling tools using the TLM technique; 3) development of a tool-supported method for multidisciplinary collaborative modeling and traceability support throughout the development process for CPSs; 4) development of an advanced simulation modeling analysis tool for more efficient simulation.

Book Modelling and Simulation of Integrated Systems in Engineering

Download or read book Modelling and Simulation of Integrated Systems in Engineering written by D J Murray-Smith and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book places particular emphasis on issues of model quality and ideas of model testing and validation. Mathematical and computer-based models provide a foundation for explaining complex behaviour, decision-making, engineering design and for real-time simulators for research and training. Many engineering design techniques depend on suitable models, assessment of the adequacy of a given model for an intended application is therefore critically important. Generic model structures and dependable libraries of sub-models that can be applied repeatedly are increasingly important. Applications are drawn from the fields of mechanical, aeronautical and control engineering, and involve non-linear lumped-parameter models described by ordinary differential equations. Focuses on issues of model quality and the suitability of a given model for a specific application Multidisciplinary problems within engineering feature strongly in the applications The development and testing of nonlinear dynamic models is given very strong emphasis

Book An Overview of the Prototype Integrated Simulation Evaluation Model of the Air Force Manpower and Personnel System

Download or read book An Overview of the Prototype Integrated Simulation Evaluation Model of the Air Force Manpower and Personnel System written by Charles R. Eisele and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the AF Human Resource Laboratory are jointly conducting a R/D program to provide Air Force manpower and personnel analysts with the capability to consider--in a timely and consistent fashion--both second and higher order, in addition to primary, response characteristics of the Air Force Manpower and Personnel System (AF M/PS) to proposed policy implementations. The basic direction of the program is toward developing a large-scale, empirically based, computer simulation model of the AR M/PS. As a means of demonstrating the basic structural form and logic flow of an Integrated Simulation Evaluation Model (ISEM) of the AF M/PS, an ISEM-Prototype was designed, constructed, and installed on the USAF CDC Computer System at Wright-Patterson AFB. The ISEM-P design is based on a modular representation of the AF M/PS in which long-range force structure planning, training program requirements, short-range personnel assignment planning, and actual personnel flows are simulated as integrated activities for the purpose of evaluating force structure response to various mission and policy changes.

Book Next Generation Integrated Simulation Environments

Download or read book Next Generation Integrated Simulation Environments written by Leila Jalali and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulation and Modeling is one of the most important and widely used techniques in many research areas. The available simulation tools are mostly meant for standalone use and do not attempt to address the overall scenarios. It would be advantageous and cost-effective to combine these models thus forming a new integrated simulation model based on individual existing components to model complex scenarios and understand the joint effect of multiple phenomena. In this book, we discuss a framework to integrate multiple autonomous simulation models into an integrated environment wherein we can model and execute complex scenarios involving multiple simulators. Our techniques are implemented in RAISE (Reflective Architecture for Integrated Simulation Environments); specifically, we design meta-level synchronizer and data exchange modules that support flexible constraint specification while supporting high levels of concurrency in the execution.
