Like most other fields in biology, immunology has been revolutionised by the techniques of molecular biology and the resulting explosion in available experimental data. It is argued that efforts to integrate the data to gain insight into how various subsystems in the immune system interact and function require mathematical modelling and computer simulation in close collaboration with experiment...

this paper is an attempt to numerical modeling and experimental study of air flow in the yazdi wind-towers. wind towers has been known as one of the most effective climatic elements in iranian traditional architecture. this paper is an attempt to evaluating yazdi wind-tower to discussion the two main questions: 1. what is the role of orientation of wind-towers span, regarding to climate and hei...

In this paper, a new method for modelling and estimation of reliability parameters of power transformer components in distribution and transmission voltage levels for preventive-corrective maintenance schedule of transformers is proposed. In this method, with optimal estimation of Weibull distribution parameters using least squares method and input data uncertainty reduction, failure rate and p...

Security and safety were and still are a major concern for distributed computing systems and similar networks of computer environments. A number of cryptographic protocols have been proposed to achieve security and safety of network communication. There is growing interest in using computer simulation to help with understanding, analysing and designing of dynamic complex real systems. This pape...

Agent-based Simulation is used for different purposes in Computer Science and Economics. While computer scientists design agents for controlling complex systems or for instilling objects with autonomy and intelligence, economists use agents for gaining a better understanding of the dynamics within economic systems. For the modelling task both communities use their specialised modelling approach...

This work reports on two courses for computer scientists. The first is a graduate course on modeling and simulation and the second is a course on component based software engineering. For both of these courses we principally use the same basis, that is, the Java Beans component technology and the DEVS system theory formalism for discrete event simulation. However, in the two coursed, we pursue ...

Simulation transparency is becoming more crucial in the decision making process when quantitative computer tools are used to justify some strategies. The coloured petri net (CPN) formalism is a promising modelling approach to foster simulation transparency by means of state space traceability tools, which have been proven to be useful for modelling system dynamics with conflict patterns. E-gove...

To investigate the morphological and electrical development of neurons using computer models it is useful to extend the compartmental modelling framework to include the situation where neurites (dendrites and axons) may change their length, diameter and membrane characteristics over time. This requires changing the size and other properties of existing compartments and adding new compartments d...

The United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) have sponsored two key development activities relating to the OneSAF Computer Generated Forces (CGF) system and development of a Common Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) modelling capability. The first is an interface to enable OneSAF to operate in a High Level Architecture (HLA) 1516-...

A Computer-Aided-Test (CAT) platform has been integrated in the Cadence Design Framework Environment for the evaluation of analogue/mixed-signal/RF Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) techniques. It comprises tools for statistical modelling of circuit performances, fault simulation, test generation and test optimization. The fault modelling and fault injection tools are simulator-independent, thus they a...
