Design of springs is a very important step in the design process of inertial sensors. A procedure for computing the spring stiffness for any single-chain configuration of beams and a translator which converts beam-based schematic representation of inertial sensors to higher-level behavioral representation are implemented. Combining the spring stiffness computation with the translator, spring-ma...

We are pleased to announce the sixth year of the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD) at the 2015 Spring Simulation Conference. Researchers in simulation, architecture, urban design, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, engineering, software development, education, and business who develop or use modeling, simulation, visualization, validation, or interac...

Spring-mass systems are widely used in computer animation to model soft objects. Although the systems can be numerically solved either by explicit methods or implicit methods, it has been difficult to obtain stable results from explicit methods. This paper describes detailed discussion on stabilizing explicit methods in spring-mass simulation. The simulation procedures are modeled as a linear d...

This paper presents the design and application of a web service architecture for providing shared access to web-based visual representations, such as dynamic models, simulations and visualizations. The Shared Representations (SR) system was created to facilitate the development of collaborative and co-operative learning activities over the web, and has been applied to provide shared group acces...

1 The medical staff might not have to be represented here since they only enter what factors that should be monitored and so they can be seen as the same entity as the nurses' station.
