Computer simulation and predictive models are widely used in engineering, much less considered in life sciences. We present an initiative aimed to establish a dialogue within the community of scientists, regulators, industry representatives, offering a platform which combines the predictive capability of computer models, with some explanation tools, which may be convincing and helpful for human...

This work is devoted to present the design and implementation of Alfa-1, a simulated computer with educational purposes. The DEVS formalism was used to attack the complexity of the design, allowing the definition of individual components that can be lately integrated into a modelling hierarchy. The tool is designed for the use in Computer Architecture and Organization courses. Its goal is allow...

computer simulation techniques are employed to obtain binding energies of 2,3 and 4 vacancy clusters in a -iron using the finnis sinclair many body potential. the results are compared with earlier pair potential calculations. the many body potential is found to be quite successful in simulating vacancy clusters

Recently we developed a new mesoscopic molecular modelling computer simulation method from the Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) method [2] useful for simulations of specific dynamical processes at the microsecond and micrometer scale. This unique technique, called Molecular-Fragment-Dynamics (MFD), can be generally applied to surfactants, polymers, nanoparticles and complex mixtures in mater...

The objective of this article is related to the potential improvement of computer simulation as applied to manufacturing systems. Through our contacts with the operational environment, we have observed that simulation is not used to its full potential. One remark is that existing tools are not adapted to modelling the decision process: they fall short of offering effective integration into the ...

A mathematical model is developed and tested with plant data for the ammonia cold shot converter of Razi Petrochemical Complex. The model is based on a material and energy balance in a differential element of beds and is subjected to the assumptions of uniform distribution of temperature and composition through a general cross section and negligible mass and heat transfer in axial direction. Th...

One of the methods for analyzing systems is simulation. Network simulation is a technique that models the behavior of the network by performing transaction calculations between different network entities and using mathematical formulas and taking observations from network products. A network simulator is a piece of software or hardware that predicts the behavior of a computer network without a ...

this paper deals with the design and evaluation of a robust controller for static var compensator (svc) in remote industrial power systems to enhance the voltage profile for three-phase single cage induction motor (scim) loads. the controller design is based on h∞ theory to deal with uncertainties arising in industrial network modelling. the performance of the h∞ controller has been evaluated e...

The classical simulation of physical processes using standard models of computation is fraught with problems. On the other hand, attempts at modelling real-world computation with the aim of isolating its hypercomputational content have struggled to convince. We argue that a better basic understanding can be achieved through computability theoretic deconstruction of those physical phenomena most...
