Multivariable control of nonlinear processes is addressed through the use of functional expansions. Based on the internal model control scheme, the proposed controller strategy results in a flexible design method applicable to both minimum and nonminimum phase nonlinear systems. The control law can be selected as to achieve complete or partial decoupling of outputs. A simulation example is presented.

The paper discusses the design, implementation and testing of an object oriented simulation engine capable of producing knowledge based simulations. The simulation engine provides a high level Lisp like script language for describing the process being simulated. As a detailed example, a Kaymr continuous digester has been simulated. The simulation engine is made up of four distinct objects which have been implemented as individual programs in a Windows operating system. The result is an easy to use, cost effective solution to the problem of creating training simulations for industrial processes.

The authors discuss a learning environment that they developed for use on the World-Wide Web. It allows students to obtain the content of laboratory assignments, as well as supporting materials, interactive guided testing and demonstrations of appropriate software packages. They describe this environment relative to some general issues in using the Web to deliver materials, and, more specifically, discuss the use of simulation using external software packages and the use of scripting to provide interactivity. Although many of the features of this environment and the particular simulation software used are specific to courses in digital logic design, the concepts illustrated are general and apply to a range of courses.

In this paper, we present a new statistical technique for estimating average power dissipation in sequential circuits. Due to the feedback mechanism, in sequential circuits power dissipation in consecutive clock cycles are temporally correlated,which violates the basic requirement of statistical mean inference procedures. We overcome this problem by using a randomness test and a sequential procedure to select a proper independence interval, which in turn is used to generate random power samples. A distribution-independent stopping criterion is applied to analyze the sample data and terminate the simulation upon achievement of the accuracy specification. The technique is successfully applied to a set of benchmark circuits.

Modeling the perfomance of space-shared multicomputers is a non-trivial task mainly due to difficulty in modeling the effect of external fragmentation on system performance. Mesh-connected multicomputers are hard to model in particular because of great variance in job sizes. Therefore, researchers have relied on simulation method to evaluate the mesh performance. We propose a novel modeling technique called hybrid method in this paper. The proposed technique utilizes simulation method to estimate the capacity of a system. Then, a queueing model with multiple servers is constructed using the system capacity as the number of servers in the queueing system. The technique is validated through simulation experiments. The results reveal that the hybrid method provides very close estimation of the mesh performance with very little overhead. The proposed technique can also be used for performance modeling of other multicomputers with different topologies.

An approach to provide a Web-based framework for distributed execution of collaborative applications is presented. The work is a part of a wider on-going project whose aim is to make environmental simulation models publicly available to Internet users. The Web computing skeleton has been constructed from prefabricated Web-enabled components with the ability to open and maintain Web connections and provide collaboration over the Internet. The case study illustrates how a single-user simulation system can be embedded in the skeleton, thus becoming widely available distributed application.

A diagnosis technique that integrates the storage of precomputed information with some dynamic computation for the diagnosis of bridging faults in synchronous sequential circuits with no-scan or partial-scan is presented. The method addresses the accuracy, storage requirements, and computational complexity required for diagnosis. A combination of adaptively simulating the behavior of a bridging fault and storing faulty state information at select vectors ensures accuracy with low storage requirements. The combination of adaptive simulation, state storage, and pathtracing has low computational requirements. Experimental results are provided for the ISCAS89 benchmark circuits.
