Analog synthesis tools have failed to migrate into mainstream use primarily because of difficulties in reconciling the simplified models required for synthesis with the industrial-strength simulation environments required for validation. MAELSTROM is a new approach that synthesizes a circuit using the same simulation environment created to validate the circuit. We introduce a novel genetic/ ann...

This paper gives an overview of recent developments of the Building Controls Virtual Test Bed (BCVTB), a framework for co-simulation and hardware-in-theloop. First, a general overview of the BCVTB is presented. Second, we describe the BACnet interface, a link which has been implemented to couple BACnet devices to the BCVTB. We present a case study where the interface was used to couple a whole ...

Spectroscopy is one of the most accurate probes molecular world. However, predicting spectra accurately computationally difficult because presence entanglement between electronic and nuclear...

The design and simulation of a multi-input fuzzy MIN and MAX circuits based on a new strategy taking analog design advantages such as low die area, high speed, and simplicity is considered in this paper. Modular current-mode circuits to obtain the minimum and maximum of N analog inputs are described. For implementing this idea, new current mode circuits are proposed which is based on the Wilson...

Simulation has come a long way since the author started at Sperry Gyroscope Co. at its site at Bracknell, Berkshire, England in 1964. Then the main activity was military simulation using valve analog simulators. Following a move to a lectureship at Manchester University in 1966, a progression from analog to digital simulation via hybrid analog and digital systems (the latter being the topic of ...
