Modeland component-based design have yielded dramatic increase in design productivity in several narrowly focused homogeneous domains, such as signal processing, control and aspects of electronic design. However, significant impact on the design and manufacturing of complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) such as vehicles has not yet been achieved. This paper describes challenges of and solution a...

The rapid development of digital technology has led to the widespread of virtual or CAD based design environments. However, these tools lack a means of combing physical and digital representations in order to support the iterative design process. The illuminated workspace provides a self-contained design environment in which a number of physical, computational, statistical, and visual represent...

High-power bidirectional dc–dc converters are being widely employed in renewable energy interfacing, storage, electric vehicle charging, military, aerospace, and marine applications. Among various topologies documented the literature for power conversion, split-pi converter invites special attention with regard to applications involving multi-phase systems requiring high-power density. This pap...

Abstract Interference is an important limitation in many communication systems. It has been shown situations that the popular Gaussian approximation not adequate and interference exhibits impulsive behavior. This paper surveys different statistical models proposed for such interference, can generally be unified using class of sub-exponential family distributions, its impact on receiver design. ...
