It is essential to find new ways of enabling experts in different disciplines to collaborate more efficient in the development of ever more complex systems, under increasing market pressures. One possible solution for this challenge is to use a heterogeneous model-based approach where different teams can produce their conventional models and carry out their usual mono-disciplinary analysis, but...

z This paper is intended to provide a general view on simulation-based modeling and verification strategies for developing embedded systems. z In particular, it describes state-of-the art co-simulation approaches and verification strategies based on fault simulation and assertion checking.

The present passive operation in the electricity network is able to handle only limited amount of distributed generation. To avoid extension of grid capacity an intelligent infrastructure and smart grid control is proposed which will guarantee the compliance of limits given by EN50160. For this reason, the different components of the grid have to communicate with the grid controlling unit to tr...

The objective of our study was to simulation of carbon monoxide (CO) dispersion exited from the stacks of a cement industry of Doroud, Iran by Gaussian Model (GM). Four sampling period was conducted to measurement of CO from the factory's three-stack flow during one year. The input parameters for were the rate of CO emission, meteorological data, factors of related to the stack, and factors of ...

In the field of co-simulation, the construction of a bridge between different simulators and the solution of problems like synchronization and data translation are some of the main challenges. This paper discusses the advantages of the HLA (High Level Architecture) standard to solve these problems and presents a generic architecture to support environments for geographically distributed co-simu...

The soil samples were collected from 170 sampling stations in an arid area in Shahrood and Damghan, characterized by prevalence of mining activity. The levels of Co, Pb, Ni, Cs, Cu, Mn, Sr, V, Zn, Cr, and Tl were recorded in each sampling location. A new method known as min/max autocorrelation factor (MAF) was applied for the first time in the environmental research works to de-correlate these ...

The wind environment around a building influences human lives and the design of it. Simulation by CFD software is a main method used to study wind environment. But the reliability of the simulation result needs to be proved by comparing to the measured wind environment data. Experiment and simulation on wind environment were carried out in this reasearch. What’s more, different simulation metho...
