The advent of powerful processing technologies and the advances in software development tools have drastically changed the approach and implementation of computational research in fundamental properties of living systems through simulating and synthesizing biological entities and processes in artificial media. Nowadays realistic physical and physiological simulation of natural and would-be creatures, worlds and societies becomes a low-cost task for ordinary home computers. The progress in technology has dramatically reshaped the structure of the software, the execution of a code, and...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Symposium on Surgery Simulation and Soft Tissue Modeling, IS4TM 2003, held in Juan-Les-Pins, France in June 2003.

The 33 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on soft tissue models, haptic rendering, cardiac modeling, and patient specific simulators.

This volume contains papers contributed to the Second Symposium on Hybrid RANS-LES Methods, held in Corfu, Greece, 17-18 June 2007. All the papers have undergone further review and revision after the symposium, which has covered a number of relevant topics in the field. These include Unsteady RANS and LES, Improved DES Methods, Hybrid RANS-LES Methods, Embedded LES, DES-related Numerical Issues, Performance of the New SAS Model, as well as Industrial Applications of DES. Papers represent a leading part of current studies and achievements on the fundamentals of hybrid RANS-LES methods in...

The chapters in this volume can be grouped into three parts. Part I provides an introductory course in the design and operation of computers and computer systems. It conveys a knowledge of the basic principles of computer systems along with perspectives on the history and future of computers. The study of algorithmics is contained in Part II including matrix computations, fundamental algorithms and data structures, design and analysis of efficient algorithms, and computational complexity. Part III brings out the relation between computer systems and operations research applications. This...

Readers can turn to this indispensable reference guide for comprehensive and lucid coverage of the operational, technical, and organizational knowledge needed to harness successful and constructive computer assisted exercises (CAX) and war games. It is geared also toward large civilian organizations that are looking to teach and test their strategies and procedures without the added cost of manpower. Divided into two clear parts, the book covers:

• Fundamentals and Theory--conflict and warfare; probability and statistics;...

Object Oriented Simulation will qualify as a valuable resource to students and accomplished professionals and researchers alike, as it provides an extensive, yet comprehensible introduction to the basic principles of object-oriented modeling, design and implementation of simulation models.

Key features include an introduction to modern commercial graphical simulation and animation software, accessible breakdown of OOSimL language constructs through various programming principles, and extensive tutorial materials ideal for undergraduate classroom use.

Semiconductor power electronics plays a dominant role due its increased efficiency and high reliability in various domains including the medium and high electrical drives, automotive and aircraft applications, electrical power conversion, etc. Power/HVMOS Devices Compact Modeling will cover very extensive range of topics related to the development and characterization power/high voltage (HV) semiconductor technologies as well as modeling and simulations of the power/HV devices and smart power integrated circuits (ICs). Emphasis is placed on the practical applications of the...

Artificial neural networks are used to model systems that receive inputs and produce outputs. The relationships between the inputs and outputs and the representation parameters are critical issues in the design of related engineering systems, and sensitivity analysis concerns methods for analyzing these relationships. Perturbations of neural networks are caused by machine imprecision, and they can be simulated by embedding disturbances in the original inputs or connection weights, allowing us to study the characteristics of a function under small perturbations of its parameters.
