About this title

Synopsis

Systems of systems are at the root of this century?s global challenges of economy, climate, and energy. We are accustomed to building such systems directly in the real world, yet it is becoming increasingly too dangerous, costly, unethical, or risky to do so. In such cases, the only workable alternative is to build and test within virtual reality. System of systems virtual build and test can be supported by a discrete event systems specification (DEVS) simulation modeling formalism, and a system entity structure (SES) simulation model ontology. This book is the first to provide an approach to integrating both energy and information processing requirements into system design. This approach, based on activity concepts that are intrinsic to DEVS-based system design, allows us to virtually build and test systems that are capable of emulating biological systems in their ability to balance their information processing functionalities against the energy and resource expenditure incurred in their use.

From the Author

One of the goals we had in creating this book is to feature new simulation environments that implement the DEVS formalism in "Theory of Modeling and Simulation"  and simplify it for student and general use. The intent is to enable the two books together to work together to provide the theory and the practice in one convenient package.
This book also concerns system of systems and the multifaceted modeling perspective which has become essential in coping with monumental issues facing society - see my book, "Multifacetted Modelling and Discrete Event Simulation"  ASIN: 0127784, ISBN-13: 978-0127784502
