Sliding-mode (SM) based differentiation is exact on a large class of functions and robust to the presence of input noises. The best-possible differentiator accuracy is for the first-time calculated. A few differentiators and their discretizations are presented. As an important application of the differentiation technique we propose the first robust exact method for the estimation of the equivalent control and of a number of its derivatives from a SM control input.

The chemical-inspired programming approach is an emerging paradigm for defining the behavior of densely distributed and context-aware devices (e.g., in ecosystems of displays tailored to crowd steering, or to obtain profile-based coordinated visualization). Typically, the evolution of such systems cannot be easily predicted, thus making of paramount importance the availability of techniques and tools supporting prior-to-deployment analysis. Exact analysis techniques do not scale well when the complexity of systems grows: as a consequence, approximated techniques based on simulation assumed a relevant role. This work presents a new simulation-based distributed analysis tool addressing the statistical analysis of such a kind of systems. The tool has been obtained by chaining two existing tools: MULTIVESTA and ALCHEMIST. The former is a recently proposed lightweight tool which allows to enrich existing discreteevent simulators with automated and distributed statistical analysis capabilities, while the latter is an efficient simulator for chemical-inspired computational systems. The tool is validated against a crowd steering scenario, and insights on the performance are provided by discussing how the analysis tasks scale on a multi-core architecture.

In Simulink models with single-processor multitask implementation, time delays and transaction buffers emerge when Rate Transition (RT) blocks are added. This paper examines Simulink modeling and buffer optimization. The concept of laxity release is defined for the priority assignment procedure. The algorithms of laxity prediction and laxity release are proposed for the task scheduling problem. The laxity bounds and laxity release bounds are obtained, and the response time based on laxity release is calculated. Some experimental results are given to show that with our approach, total system buffer costs are reduced and system performance is improved.

In this paper, we introduce an Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) estimator with jackknifing to estimate quantile sensitivities, and theoretically prove the two-fold jackknife method reduces bias by eliminating the order 1/ n bias in the original IPA estimator. Numerical examples in finance on portfolio return and options pricing are presented to illustrate the superiority of the new estimator over the original IPA estimator, especially for high and low quantile levels. Antithetic variates are used to further reduce the variance.

The modeling and simulation (M&S) is becoming a central activity in order to build, study and analyze new systems. To improve activities of M&S, we need to develop collaborative technologies. In this context, we develop the application software Virtual Laboratory Environment (VLE) to model, simulate and analyze dynamic systems. VLE is based on the discreteevent System specification (DEVS) formalism, a widely recognized specification for modeling and simulating discreteevents systems. The main features of the DEVS formalism are a modular and hierarchical approach of the M&S and a relative simplicity to develop the simulation algorithms. Researchers and engineers from different comunities used VLE to develop and study models. However, the modelers need to share source code in order to reuse, couple and combine models. It is not sufficient because they are not helped for maintenance and version upgrades issues. In this paper we present a package system manager that greatly helps modelers to publish source code, binary code, exchange models, data and software application in VLE.

Low intensity conflicts (LIC) become crucial in military operations. They are situations where contending groups are involved in a confrontation below the level of conventional war. To protect minorities and maintain or restore an acceptable level of peace a military force can be employed. Such a system is principally characterised by the importance of the interactions between and within factions. Salient properties of these interactions are their asymmetry, their effects at different scales and their dynamic nature. The multi-agent paradigm and the dynamic structure system are particularly suitable ways to represent a system with such characteristics. This paper proposes a discreteevents Specification (DEVS) of autonomous agents and uses a related dynamic hierarchical structure approach to enable more realistic training of military personnel and scenario analysis.

Situations where armed forces are now engaged have become more and more varied and complex far away from conventional confrontations. Hence, headquarters have an increasing need of a large variety of scenarios, quickly designed and implemented, in order to anticipate such new kind of situations. This is one of Piovra objectives to provide such kind of model of scenario. Recently, several efforts have arisen seeking similar goal but we choose to keep an high level model usable by end-users. This paper is to present how manage and connect these two levels of modelling: conceptual level for end-user and an operational level in order to perform simulations without platform constraints.

modeling and simulation becomes crucial in analyzing dynamic system behavior. Many formalisms and methods are introduced in order to improve this process. The effort is twofold; a) reach more realistic models and results, b) obtain "simplified, flexible" models. Efforts are conducted to adapt formalisms to several domains and features. In our work, we are interested in the structure variability especially in DEVS modeling formalism. Structure variability allows models to be adapted to different situations along simulation. We proposed a dynamic hierarchical structure modeling approach and the corresponding algorithm based on the abstract simulator. This paper presents an implementation in an M&S environment.

The features of a toolkit for modeling and simulation based on the DEVS formalism are presented. The tool is built as a set of independent software pieces running on different platforms. Not only are the main characteristics of the environment presented, a focus on its use is also considered by inclusion of application examples for a variety of problems. Many models can be defined in an automated fashion, simplifying the construction of new models and easing their verification. The use of this formal approach has allowed the development of safe and cost-effective simulations, significantly reducing development time. Copyright(C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.

We propose a new approach dealing with the combination of bond-graph with GDEVS formalism for modeling and simulation of complex systems using discreteevent techniques. We show how to build discreteeventsimulation models for bond graph elements, with either piecewise linear input-output trajectories or any kind of polynomial trajectories. One of the main advantages of our method is the reduction in the number of simulation Steps, and therefore the possibility of studying dynamic hybrid systems using only the discreteevent paradigin.
