Deploying Networked Real-Time Simulation, Putting the Virtual Enterprise to Work Some Aerospace Experiences
نویسنده
چکیده
Aerospace products are typically high-tech, high quality and low volume. They are produced by specialised geographically dispersed companies. The production is dominated by a large amount of engineering. In the engineering phase each company makes extensive use of real-time simulation for its own (sub) systems. At the same time the aerospace industry is becoming more competitive. This way of working combined with the business realities provides an opportunity to deploy the virtual enterprise concept in the aerospace domain. This paper focuses on the virtual enterprise as realised by networking existing real-time simulators. Major applications of networked real-time simulation are training, mission planning and networked R&D. Each of these applications will be illustrated with an example from a different domain. Networked simulations require exercise management for which this paper presents a re-usable implementation based on international standards. Our experience, consolidated in the SmartFED tool, shows that the virtual enterprise concept as embodied in networked simulation provides benefits like increased quality and reduced timeto-market of a product.

متن کاملMarkovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems
A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...

متن کاملModelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method
Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
