First results about the behaviour of the nourishment done at Zurriola beach, Vasc Country, Spain, have been obtained, by means of the data acquired during 2 years monitoring. The general conclusion appoint to a good agreement with the previous physical model results: in spite of a small percentage of sand is lost, the beach is `self kept'. A rough evaluation of losses has been done, helping us to predict the future maintenance to do. The topography and bathymetry of the beach do not help to a easy modelling by means of mathematical models.

We describe a computer program for mathematicalmodelling and simulation (MMS) of robotic dynamic systems (RDS) using fuzzy logic techniques, genetic algorithms and fractal theory. The computer program combines soft computing (SC) techniques with mathematical methods and can be considered as an intelligent system for the domain of modelling and simulation of robotic systems. The computer program simulates the reasoning of a human expert in the process of developing the mathematical models of RDS. The program contains the knowledge of the human experts expressed as fuzzy rules (in the knowledge base) for MMS of RDS. The computer program uses efficiently the SC techniques and fractal theory for MMS of RDS.

In this paper an original approach to modelling and transient simulation of an electronically operated permanent magnet motor (EOM) is presented, with special attention to determination of its dynamic and transient characteristics, which are analyzed. This type of motor appertains to the generation of new special motors, supplied and controlled by modern semiconductor devices. The mathematicalmodelling of the EOM presented in this paper is performed by the corresponding dynamic model of the motor itself and by a proper modelling and simulation of its control device. A particular mathematical model for calculations of dynamic characteristics of the motor is derived and presented, too. The dynamic characteristics of torque, current and speed, for different control parameters is also presented on diagrams. The transient simulation of the electronically operated permanent magnet motor is carried out by using these characteristics. The proposed methodology is used for an extended analysis of dynamic performance of an EOM and prediction of its transient behaviour is also performed.

Industry is facing a crisis in the design of complex hardware/software systems. Due to the increasing complexity, the gap between the generation of a product idea and the realisation of a working system is expanding rapidly. To manage complexity and to shorten design cycles, industry is forced to look at system level languages towards specification and design. We report on the system level modelling language called POOSL. The language is very expressive and is able to model dynamic hard real time behaviour as well as static (architecture and topology) structure in an object oriented fashion. The language integrates a process part, based on the process algebra CCS, with a data part, based on the concepts of traditional object oriented programming languages. Unlike many modelling languages today, POOSL is equipped with a complete mathematical semantics. Currently a number of automated software tools (model editing simulator and compiler tools) are available. It is shown how the language and tools allow the estimation of a performance parameter of a datalink protocol.

Software engineering (SE) and human computer interaction (HCI) disciplines typically have separate processes and design artifacts. The paper describes a coevolutionary design process, which incorporates both SE and HCI processes, and indicates how design artifacts can be usefully shared throughout the development of an interactive product. We show how scenarios in particular can serve as a bridge between the two disciplines. We present a tool called Scenic Vista that is a prototype for a development environment of linked SE and HCI design artifacts. The design artifacts in Scenic Vista are: task hierarchies, textual scenarios, Unified modelling Language (UML) sequence diagrams, and ClockWorks user interface architectures.

Problems associated with understanding, verifying and re-engineering the way in which a system allocates and releases dynamic memory present significant challenges to the software maintainer. Because the questions underlying these problems are undecidable, no system can provide a completely fail safe certification. For example, in checking for memory leaks, a system can only warn of potential problems, but cannot guarantee that no leaks remain. We present an approach to modelling the dynamic memory access properties of a program using amorphous program slicing to create a Dynamic Memory Model (DMM). The slices are constructed from a transformed version of the original program in which heap access has been made explicit using a pseudo variable to denote the top of the heap. The DMM is a simplified version of the original program which is concerned solely with the dynamic memory access behaviour of the original. We illustrate the use of DMMs in problems of comprehension, verification and re-engineering. We introduce a proof-of-concept DMM construction algorithm, showing how slicing simplification power can be dramatically improved using domain-specific transformation rules.

Study of the cardiovascular system of the human fetus is based on noninvasive measurement methods such as Doppler echography systems. The circulation conditions in fetal vessels are usually evaluated by resistance indices, giving limited physiological information on distal territories such as the placenta or the brain. To enhance the understanding of human fetal haemodynamics, a numerical model of the fetal heart has been developed, using the hydraulic-electric analogy. The model is based on a mechanical hypothesis of parallel functioning of the right and left ventricles, considered to have analogue elastance properties. Their behaviour is equivalent to that of a single ventricle ejecting an equivalent blood volume of 7 ml in the aorta. The characterisation of the equivalent ventricle is based on the determination of a set of four parameters (E-max, V-0, k(v) and P-0) representing the maximum ventricle contractility, a reference volume, and volume and pressure constants, respectively. The model proposed is validated by studying the effects of preload and afterload variations on the fetal heart work, and by comparing the numerical results with literature and measured data. The model constitutes the first step towards a global model of the cardiovascular system of the human fetus.

Biological systems are being used to treat an increasing range of complex wastes;domestic and industrial wastewaters containing nutrients and refractory organic compounds, soil sites and groundwater contaminated by organics, and organic solid residues. These treatment processes rely on micro-organisms and, more than ever before, must deliver higher quality outcomes at higher levels of reliability to protect the environment. At the same time, pressures to deliver cost-effective treatment have increased. The challenge for these biological treatment technologies and the associated engineering is to achieve the environmental and economic goals simultaneously. mathematicalmodelling is an essential component in developing a detailed understanding of such processes, as well as design guidelines and suitable operating and control strategies. This paper provides a brief summary of the development of mathematical models for biological waste treatment systems, why they have become increasingly complex and how certain microbiological tools can provide the experimental means to validate more complex segregated and structured models of biological behaviour. With a number of specific modelling examples in the field of wastewater treatment, we illustrate the potential of these modern microbiological tools and their implications for gaining an improved understanding of biological waste treatment.
