Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) simulation libraries commonly make use of indirection and, essentially, typeless events as part of their interface specification. This forces library users to employ downcasting and/or strong data coupling in the design of their simulation applications. These techniques are anathema to good object oriented design principles, but seem to be inescapable ...

We have developed a exible and intuitive simulator for embedded systems stable enough to be used in a commercial setting, with an execution speed comparable to that of the simulated hardware. This extensible simulator is based on a loosely coupled set of tools that form a framework for eecient construction of new simulators.

We investigate how network structure can influence the tendency for a neuronal network to synchronize, or its synchronizability, independent of the dynamical model for each neuron. The synchrony analysis takes advantage of the framework of second order networks, which defines four second order connectivity statistics based on the relative frequency of two-connection network motifs. The analysis...

There exist some fundamental and yet challenging problems in pinning control of complex networks: (1) What types of pinning schemes may be chosen for a given complex network to realize synchronization? (2) What kinds of controllers may be designed to ensure the network synchronization? (3) How large should the coupling strength be used in a given complex network to achieve synchronization? This...

in this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. to analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

We present simulation results that clarify the role of SpikeTiming Dependent Plasticity (STDP) in brain processing as a putative mechanism to transfer spatio-temporal regularities, as observed in sensory signals, toward action, expressed as a global increase of the target population activity, followed by a reset. The repetition of this activation-reset mechanism gives rise to a series of synchr...

The likelihood ratio spatial scan statistic has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and spatial cluster detection applications. In order to better understand cluster mechanisms, an equivalent model-based approach is proposed to the spatial scan statistic that unifies currently loosely coupled methods for including ecological covariates in the spatial scan test. In addition, the uti...
