High-fidelity simulations of dynamic embedded systems can be invaluable. This follow-up to “Modeling Dynamic Systems” (August 2000) presents some techniques and algorithms you might find useful. In a ...

Ask six engineers what a model is and you may get six different answers. In mechatronics, the word model carries a specific meaning, and modeling is perhaps the single most important activity in ...

Scientists usually use a hypergraph model to predict dynamic behaviors. But the opposite problem is interesting, too. What if researchers can observe the dynamics but don't have access to a reliable ...

We anticipate that students possess a grasp of fundamental mathematical concepts equivalent to those covered in the first year of studies for STEM majors at a US college. Additionally, a familiarity ...

For decades, data centers were designed with permanence in mind: fixed plans, rigid shapes and predictable life cycles. Physical constraints of legacy architectures made them inherently static. But in ...

As designs move beyond System-on-Chip (SoC) to more complex System-of-Systems (SoS), it’s essential for design teams to effectively verify that these systems function together as intended.

Vapor compression cycles are predominantly used in air-conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration equipment. A good understanding of transient behaviors of vapor compression systems is critical to ...
