An integrated modeling and simulation tool called Componentbased System Modeler and Simulator (CoSMoS) is developed. It supports visual development of families of models that have well-defined logical specifications. The logical componentbased models persist in relational databases and may be automatically translated into specific target simulation and markup programming languages. The underlyi...

The ‘Cosmos’ model and its application is a dynamic event distribution system, which generates and organizes sonic entities evolving on multiple time scales. Inspired by the stochastic event generation models that were developed by Iannis Xenakis, the Cosmos model proposes additional important aspects such as the self-similarity in the structure and emergent behaviour in the resulting sonic evo...

CoSMoS is a defined approach for designing, building, and arguing fit for purpose, a scientifically rigorous simulation of a complex real world system. The ODD (Overview, Design concepts, Details) protocol is a standardised way of describing simulation models, defined to support reproducibility. This paper demonstrates that use of the CoSMoS approach to build a simulation supports the presentat...

Big Bang is the widely accepted model of the beginning of our cosmos some 13.7 billion years ago from a single point source into its present-day expansion which is continuing at an unexplained accelerating rate. All known physical processes in our universe are governed by the laws of thermodynamics, except for the moment of creation which defies the conservation of energy even though the cosmos...

We present Spitzer 70 and 160 μm observations of the COSMOS Spitzer survey (S-COSMOS). The data processing techniques are discussed for the publicly released products consisting of images and source catalogs. We present accurate 70 and 160 μm source counts of the COSMOS field and find reasonable agreement with measurements in other fields and with model predictions. The previously reported coun...

We summarise the existing CoSMoS approach to modelling and simulating complex systems, then introduce how the various CoSMoS models are related via their metamodel, and demonstrate the generality of the process by discussing its application to engineering bio-inspired systems.

COSMOS is a method for specifying the behavior of a synchronizable data store by modeling the data store as a state machine. Such a model can be used to define a standard for interoperable data synchronization systems, defining the sequence of messages sent and received during synchronization without constraining the implementation of a conforming system. COSMOS models can be collected, studied...

Integral linear energy transfer (LET) spectra of cosmic radiation (CR) particles were measured on five Cosmos series spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO). Particular emphasis is placed on results of the Cosmos 1887 biosatellite which carried a set of joint U.S.S.R.-U.S.A. radiation experiments involving passive detectors that included thermoluminescent detectors (TLDs), plastic nuclear track de...

Concerns are a prominent focus of attention in the early stages of the software life cycle. Particular approaches to requirements engineering and architectural design address particular concerns and relationships, often from a multidimensional perspective. Cosmos is a general-purpose, multidimensional, concern-space modeling schema that can also be used to model early-stage concerns and relatio...
