Realistic traffic scenarios in driving simulators are a mandatory prerequisites for user studies on advanced driver assistance systems. A back-projection table-top environment in combination with miniature toy cars offers a new way for the creation of traffic scenarios with fine-grained human behavior. The system is linked to a driving simulator and enables direct experiencing. The platform als...

Dynamic, physically based simulation has proved very effective in representing the timedependent behavior of equipment, process, sensor and control systems. We have developed a system-level dynamic simulator for an 8” CVD cluster tool (ULVAC-ERA1000). The simulator incorporates models for equipment, process and control systems, representing time-dependent system level behavior through the impos...

OBJECTIVE Tube thoracostomy (TT) is a commonly performed intensive care procedure. Simulator training may be a good alternative method for TT training, compared with conventional methods such as apprenticeship and animal skills laboratory. However, there is insufficient evidence supporting use of a simulator. The aim of this study is to determine whether training with medical simulator is assoc...

We propose a multi-agent simulator of an electric power distribution equipment damage restoration process due to a disaster. In the proposed simulator, the agents, who imitate the restorer, are modeled by extracting main work steps of the actual restoration process. The major functions of the proposed simulator are 1) to imitate the restoration process, 2) to estimate the alternative strategy, ...

cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, high pressure grinding rolls (hpgr) and more recently vertical roller mills (vrm) units in cement plants to c...

This paper presents a possible formalisation of the notion simulator tool for process languages like ACP, CCS, ()CRL, LOTOS and PSF. First we give precise deenitions for the notions simulator and simulation. Then we can investigate the equivalence that a simulator induces on the explored process terms. This is done by considering two processes, say p and q; equivalent if each simulation of p is...

one of the mostly used enhanced oil recovery methods is the injection of water or gas under pressure to maintain or reverse the declining pressure in a reservoir. several parameters should be optimized in a fluid injection process. the usual optimizing methods evaluate several scenarios to find the best solution. since it is required to run the reservoir simulator hundreds of times, the process...
