Airport Simulations Using Distributed Computational Resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Virtual National Airspace Simulation (VNAS) will improve the safety of Air Transportation. In 2001, using simulation and information management software running over a distributed network of super-computers, researchers at NASA Ames, Glenn, and Langley Research Centers developed a working prototype of a virtual airspace. This VNAS prototype modeled daily operations of the Atlanta airport by integrating measured operational data and simulation data on up to 2,000 flights a day. The concepts and architecture developed by NASA for this prototype are integral to the National Airspace Simulation to support the development of strategies improving aviation safety, identifying precursors to component failure.

The Abels System: Designing an Adaptable Interface for Linking Simulations
We have developed a framework for using software agent technology for linking distributed simulations and other data resources. The Agent-Based Environment for Linking Simulations (ABELS) framework uses software agents to coordinate distributed simulations, communicate data efficiently between simulations, and retrieve data from other sources such as sensors and datasets. ABELS allows simulatio...
متن کاملUsing Distributed Computing in Computational Fluid Dynamics
Advanced computation and simulation in science and engineering constitute an important area in rapid growth. The background for this is the continuing development of efficient hardware, and the need for more realistic simulations of mathematical models. Often, large scale simulations are performed with complex geometries using sophisticated numerical techniques. Due to the high amount of comput...
متن کاملDistributed computational fluid dynamics
Computational fluid dynamics simulations of relevance to jet-engine design, for instance, are extremely computationally demanding and the use of large-scale distributed computing will allow the solution of problems that cannot be tackled using current resources. It is often appropriate to leave the large datasets generated by CFD codes local to the compute resource in use at the time. This natu...

We present an effective system for simulating dust continuum observations by radiative transfer simulations. By using workflow management system RENKEI-WFT, we utilized distributed computing resources and automated a sequence of computational tasks required for radiative transfer modeling, namely, main radiative transfer simulations, pre-/post-processes, and data transfer between computing reso...
متن کاملDistributed decision support system for airport ground handling management using WSN and MAS
The economic situation in the air transportation industry claims for new business models supported by accurate management processes, which need constant feedback of the real status of the environment. The objective of this work is to achieve an updated/real decision support systems (DSS) to allocate resources in an airport even when disturbances occur by combining artificial intelligent techniq...
