This guide demonstrates how virtual build and test can be supported
by the Discrete Event Systems Specification (DEVS) simulation
modeling formalism, and the System Entity Structure (SES)
simulation model ontology. The book examines a wide variety of
Systems of Systems (SoS) problems, ranging from cloud computing
systems to biological systems in agricultural food crops. Features:
includes numerous exercises, examples and case studies throughout
the text; presents a step-by-step introduction to DEVS concepts,
encouraging hands-on practice to building sophisticated SoS models;
illustrates virtual build and test for a variety of SoS
applications using both commercial and open source DEVS simulation
environments; introduces an approach based on activity concepts
intrinsic to DEVS-based system design, that integrates both energy
and information processing requirements; describes co-design
modeling concepts and methods to capture separate and integrated
software and hardware systems.
This user's reference is a companion to the separate book also
titled "Guide to Modelling and Simulation of Systems of Systems."
The principal book explicates integrated development environments
to support virtual building and testing of systems of systems,
covering in some depth the MS4 Modelling Environment (TM). This
user's reference provides a quick reference and exposition of the
various concepts and functional features covered in that book. The
topics in the user's reference are grouped in alignment with the
workflow displayed on the MS4 Modeling Environment (TM) launch
page, under the headings Atomic Models, System Entity Structure,
Pruning SES, and Miscellaneous. For each feature, the reference
discusses why we use it, when we should use it, and how to use it.
Further comments and links to related features are also included.
This book presents new research contributions in the
above-mentioned fields. Information and communication technologies
(ICT) have an integral role in today's society. Four major driving
pillars in the field are computing, which nowadays enables data
processing in unprecedented speeds, informatics, which derives
information stemming for processed data to feed relevant
applications, networking, which interconnects the various computing
infrastructures and cybersecurity for addressing the growing
concern for secure and lawful use of the ICT infrastructure and
services. Its intended readership covers senior undergraduate and
graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering and
Electrical Engineering, as well as researchers, scientists,
engineers, ICT managers, working in the relevant fields and
industries.
Commissioned by the Society for Modeling and Simulation
International (SCS), this needed, useful new 'Body of Knowledge'
(BoK) collects and organizes the common understanding of a wide
collection of professionals and professional associations. Modeling
and simulation (M&S) is a ubiquitous discipline that lays the
computational foundation for real and virtual experimentation,
clearly stating boundaries-and interactions-of systems, data, and
representations. The field is well known, too, for its training
support via simulations and simulators. Indeed, with computers
increasingly influencing the activities of today's world, M&S
is the third pillar of scientific understanding, taking its place
along with theory building and empirical observation. This valuable
new handbook provides intellectual support for all disciplines in
analysis, design and optimization. It contributes increasingly to
the growing number of computational disciplines, addressing the
broad variety of contributing as well as supported disciplines and
application domains. Further, each of its sections provide numerous
references for further information. Highly comprehensive, the BoK
represents many viewpoints and facets, captured under such topics
as: Mathematical and Systems Theory Foundations Simulation
Formalisms and Paradigms Synergies with Systems Engineering and
Artificial Intelligence Multidisciplinary Challenges Ethics and
Philosophy Historical Perspectives Examining theoretical as well as
practical challenges, this unique volume addresses the many facets
of M&S for scholars, students, and practitioners. As such, it
affords readers from all science, engineering, and arts disciplines
a comprehensive and concise representation of concepts, terms, and
activities needed to explain the M&S discipline. Tuncer OEren
is Professor Emeritus at the University of Ottawa. Bernard Zeigler
is Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona. Andreas Tolk is
Chief Scientist at The MITRE Corporation. All three editors are
long-time members and Fellows of the Society for Modeling and
Simulation International. Under the leadership of three SCS
Fellows, Dr. OEren, University of Ottawa, Dr. Zeigler, The
University of Arizona, and Dr. Tolk, The MITRE Corporation, more
than 50 international scholars from 15 countries provided insights
and experience to compile this initial M&S Body of Knowledge.
