Engineers are relying more and more on simulation to accelerate development processes. Combining computer simulation with Model-Based Design techniques enables engineers to not only complete tasks in a shorter period of time, it makes it possible to find design errors before building hardware, making the errors easier and less expensive to fix.[1] As the systems they develop require integrating...

Block-based physical modeling is a methodology for modeling physical systems with different subsystems. Each subsystem may be modeled according to a different paradigm. Connecting systems of diverse nature in the discrete-time domain requires a unified interconnection strategy. Such a strategy is provided by the well-known wave digital principle, which had been introduced initially for the desi...

Physical Modeling has been around for a while and has been used for musical compositions and interactive performance. This paper explores new ways of looking at physical or physically informed synthesis methods in the light of recent developments in the field. In particular, Banded Waveguide Synthesis [1] offers an intersection between spectral modeling and physical modeling that can be abstrac...

In this paper, we propose a domain-specific modeling language for specifying the design of cyber-physical systems. The proposed domain-specific modeling language can capture the control, computing, and communication aspects of a cyber-physical system design in an integrated manner. The concrete syntax of the proposed domainspecific modeling language has been implemented as an extension of stand...

IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE [42] MARCH 2007 1053-5888/07/$25.00©2007IEEE B lock-based physical modeling is a methodology for modeling physical systems with different subsystems. It is an important concept for the physical modeling of real or virtual musical instruments where different components may be modeled according to different paradigms. Connecting systems of diverse nature in the dis...

background: little is known about the influence of habitual participation in physical exercise and diet on upper-extremity physical function in older adults. to assess the relationship of general physical exercise and diet to upper-extremity physical function and pain intensity in older adults.   methods: a cohort of 111 patients 50 or older completed a sociodemographic survey, the rapid assess...
