The authors present a comprehensive approach to predictable yield optimization. They utilize a new physics-based statistical GaAs MESFET model which combines the advantages of the DC Khatibzadeh and Trew model and the small-signal Ladbrooke formulas. The yield of a broadband amplifier was significantly improved after optimization. Predicted yield over a range of specifications was verified by device data. The benefits of simultaneous circuit-device yield optimization assisted by yield sensitivity analysis are demonstrated.< >

A computationally efficient numerical technique for the evaluation of the time domain response of coupled lossy uniform and nonuniform transmission lines terminated in general nonlinear elements is presented. The technique is based on the method of characteristics where the original system of coupled transmission line equations is transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations which hold along a family of characteristic curves. An algorithm to solve these equations is presented. The procedure is applicable to both uniform and nonuniform coupled systems and examples of two and three line structures terminated in linear and nonlinear elements are included to demonstrate the versatility and the usefulness of the algorithm.

Since its inception in 1971, the computer Aids for Chemical engineering Education (CACHE) Corporation has concentrated on promoting cooperation among universities, industry, and government in the development and distribution of computer-related and/or technology-based educational aids for the chemical engineering profession. This article assesses the success of several projects designed to provide aids for individual courses, as well as for a broader segment of the curriculum. The projects include: (1) the provision of 125 computer assignments for the core courses; (2) the preparation of teaching materials for, and the distribution of, Monsanto's FLOWTRAN program for use in the design courses; (3) the preparation of PC modules for many courses, leading to the Michigan project on the Development of Innovative Engineers, the Washington project on Graphical computer Aids for fluid flow and reaction in the design of chemical reactors, and the Purdue project on Laboratory Modules; and (4) the development of the MICROCACHE courseware delivery system. Also considered are the CACHE recommendations concerning the minimum requirements for computing in the undergraduate curriculum, presented to the AIChE Education and Accreditation Committee. The CACHE Corporation has facilitated several research conferences, the impact of which is assessed.

The chapter focuses on the discrete-event modeling and simulation approach that emerged from operations-research concerns. Object-oriented modeling and discrete-event simulation provide a powerful basis for design and analysis of computer-based systems in such applications as flexible manufacturing, automation, and robotics. The object-oriented approach provides powerful modeling concepts to support computer-based tools for complex system design. Discrete-event simulation has a long history of association with the object-oriented paradigm and provides the critical ability to study the dynamic behavior of models that are defined with object-oriented means. It is characteristic of simulation tools that they facilitate a (hypothetical) description of the internal structure of a real system to the level of detail that the modeler perceives in reality. This power of representation distinguishes simulation from analytical techniques but also places a new burden on the modeler such as the choice of the level of detail compatible with the objectives of the modeling effort, the real-system data available, and the computational and human resources at one's disposal. Modeling and simulation are usually performed within the context of system design, control, or management. The chapter also describes the discrete event system specification (DEVS) theory of discrete-event systems, emphasizing that DEVS should provide a firm foundation for such next-generation software environments.

Many-particle (meaning 1000's) charged-particle plasma simulations using spatial meshes for the electromagnetic field solutions, particle-in-cell (PIC) merged with Monte Carlo collision (MCC) calculations, are coming into wide use for application to partially ionized gases. This paper emphasizes the development of PIC computer experiments since the 1950's starting with one-dimensional (1-D) charged-sheet models, the addition of the mesh, and fast direct Poisson equation solvers for 2-D and 3-D. The finite-size particle-in-mesh (finite DELTA-x, DELTA-t) theory of Langdon [51]-[53] is presented in part to display the effects of too small lambda-D/DELTA-x, even for Maxwellian velocity distributions, as a caution, for example, when some ions are cooled to background gas temperatures by charge exchange. Early work on adding collisions to 1-D charge-sheet models by Burger [28] and Shanny et al. [76] are presented, with many of the elements of current Monte Carlo codes. Bounded plasma modeling is presented with electrode charges and external R, L, C, and V(t), I(t) sources now in use on fast desktop computers as real-time computer experiments, complementing analytic modeling and laboratory experiments. The addition of Monte Carlo collisions (usually done with irregular timesteps) to PIC (usually done with uniform DELTA-t's) is displayed as a developing art, relying on experimental total cross sections and approximate analytical differential cross sections to produce changes in charged-particle speed and direction due to collisions with neutrals, so far including elastic, excitation, ionization, charge exchange, and attachment processes.

A model-based autonomous system uses a multiplicity of models at various control layers to support the predefined system objectives. These models differ in level of abstraction and in formalism. It is noted that concepts and tools are needed to organize the models into a coherent whole. The authors have developed abstraction mechanisms for mapping models of laboratory instruments into operational abstractions, and for mapping a task plan hierarchy into an isomorphic tree of model abstractions. In the present work, they discuss further efforts to develop abstraction mechanisms for systematic derivation of related models through the use of system morphisms. They describe an abstraction mechanism for abstracting spatial relations between the model of the external world and the internal world model used in an autonomous agent. They also show how such a mechanism supports world modeling coherence. Then they illustrate the integration of the world modeling approach and abstraction mechanisms in an autonomous multi-agent laboratory application.< >
