The theory and techniques for virtual acoustic modeling and rendering are discussed. The creation of natural sounding audiovisual environments can be divided into three main tasks: sound source, room acoustics, and listener modeling. These topics axe discussed in the context of both non-real-time and real-time virtual acoustic environments. Implementation strategies are considered, and a modula...

This paper introduces a new approach for modeling and simulation of modular-hierarchical systems with discrete structural changes. The key ideas of the mod-eling approach-the extension of coupled systems by structure events as well as the use of inheritance and polymorphic operations on the system modeling level-are described before the basic concept of a simulator realization is depicted.

Modular neural network is a popular neural network model which has many successful applications. In this paper, a sequential Bayesian learning (SBL) is proposed for modular neural networks aiming at efficiently aggregating the outputs of members of the ensemble. The experimental results on eight benchmark problems have demonstrated that the proposed method can perform information aggregation ef...

This paper describes the modeling language CHARON for modular design of interacting hybrid systems. The language allows specification of architectural as well as behavioral hierarchy and discrete as well as continuous activities. The modular structure of the language is not merely syntactic, but is exploited by analysis tools and is supported by a formal semantics with an accompanying compositi...

‎In this paper‎, ‎first we introduce the notion of $frac{1}{2}$-modular metric spaces and weak $(alpha,Theta)$-$omega$-contractions in this spaces and we establish some results of best proximity points‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎as consequences of these theorems‎, ‎we derive best proximity point theorems in modular metric spaces endowed with a graph and in partially ordered metric spaces‎. ‎We present an ex...

Many entities managed by HEP Software Frameworks represent spatial (3-dimensional) real objects. Effective definition, manipulation and visualization of such objects is an indispensable functionality. GraXML is a modular Geometric Modeling toolkit capable of processing geometric data of various kinds (detector geometry, event geometry) from different sources and delivering them in ways suitable...

SUMMARY The modeling tool PROMOT facilitates the efficient and comprehensible setup and editing of modular models coupled with customizable visual representations. Since its last major publication in 2003, PROMOT has gained new functionality in particular support of logical models, efficient editing, visual exploration, model validation and support for SBML. AVAILABILITY PROMOT is an open sou...

In this paper, we present a new approach to model coupling that probably forms the methodological basis of a new generation of Integrated Assessment models. This approach respects the knowledge and expertise that is embodied in existing models and encourages their gradual evolution. Modularity is the guiding principle. Our approach is distinguished by the way modules are coupled which is based ...

A relevant research field is the development of closed-loop combinations of neural tissue and robotics, such as animats and hybrots [4]. As such, a proposed framework for a simple, modular synthetic organism will be evaluated. A closed-loop circulatory system would be used to sustain a “brain” via homeostatic maintenance of a balance of essential nutrients and waste removal. The modular “brains...

A detailed modular modeling of an absorbent cooling system is presented in this paper. The model including the key components is described in terms of design parameters, inputs, control variables, and outputs. The model is used to simulate the operating conditions for estimating the behavior of individual components and system performance, and to conduct a sensitivity analysis based on the give...
