This is a keynote talk and the second of three papers presented at this conference. The first, "Systems Theory Background for Continuous/Discrete Integration" reviews some of the basic theory needed ...

The basic ideas behind continuous testing and integration include: provide faster feedback to developers; build and test the system piece by piece to avoid big-bang integration and big failure; assess ...

In this paper, the authors describe a new graphical environment for learning continuous simulation. This open source software solution enables engineering students to learn and understand various real ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

Computer simulation of discrete-change systems subject to uncertainty; choice of input distributions; development of models; design and analysis of simulation experiments; mini projects, exams, and ...

High-fidelity simulations of dynamic embedded systems can be invaluable. This follow-up to “Modeling Dynamic Systems” (August 2000) presents some techniques and algorithms you might find useful. In a ...

The ever-increasing complexity of FPGAs enables even modestly sized companies to design complex systems-on-reconfigurable-chips. The traditional way of designing complex systems is based on a variant ...
