The SNE special issues on Object-oriented and Structural-dynamic Modelling and Simulation emphasize recent developments in languages and tools for object-oriented modelling of complex systems and on approaches, languages, and tools for structural-dynamic systems. Computer aided modelling and simulation of complex systems, using components from multiple application domains, have in recent years ...

Pimoa delphinica Mammola, Hormiga & Isaia, 2016 is a troglophile araneoid spider endemic of the high Varaita valley (Western Alps, Province of Cuneo, NW Italy). In spite of relatively intense field research and examination of museum collections, the species is restricted to ten localities, thus showing a reduced extent of occurrence (EOO; 26 km ) and area of occupancy (AOO; 12 km ). Although th...

EOOLT 2010 was the third edition of the EOOLT workshop series. The workshop is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners from different equation-based object-oriented (EOO) modeling language communities. This year’s workshop also expands the scope to include the whole design space of languages for cyber-physical systems, where physical dynamics are mixed with networks and softwar...

Background Island biodiversity is under considerable pressure due to the ongoing threats of invasive alien species, land use change or climate change. The few remnants of Azorean native forests harbour a unique set of endemic beetles, some of them possibly already extinct or under severe long term threat due to the small areas of the remaining habitats or climatic changes. In this contribution ...

Equation-based object-oriented modeling approach significantly reduced effort needed for model implementation by releasing modeler of performing many error-prone tasks. An increasingly more complex models can be built, preferably from components of different model libraries. However, complexity of the models complicate the process of verification – assuring that the model was implemented correc...

Tulips are bulbous geophytes with high ornamental value. Species of Tulipa L. distributed along western China to Eastern Europe. Central Asia including Uzbekistan is considered as the hotspot center tulips where over 80 and 34 taxa described. The current work presents morphology species from fresh materials, regional distribution assessment area (AOO) extent (EOO) occurrence ancestor cultivated...

The high abstraction level of equation-based objectoriented languages (EOO) such as Modelica has the drawback that programming and modeling errors are often hard to find. In this paper we present static and dynamic debugging methods for Modelica models and a debugger prototype that addresses several of those problems. The goal is an integrated debugging framework that combines classical debuggi...

Computer aided modeling and simulation of complex physical systems, using components from multiple domains, such as electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic, have in recent years witnessed a significant growth of interest. Generalpurpose simulation tools, e.g., Simulink, using block diagrams and causal connections have dominated the area for years. However, in the last decade novel languages, (e.g...
