Learn the latest techniques in programming sophisticated
simulation systems

This cutting-edge text presents the latest techniques in
advanced simulation programming for interactive modeling and
simulation of dynamic systems, such as aerospace vehicles, control
systems, and biological systems. The author, a leading authority in
the field, demonstrates computer software that can handle large
simulation studies on standard personal computers. Readers can run,
edit, and modify the sample simulations from the text with the
accompanying CD-ROM, featuring the OPEN DESIRE program for Linux
and Windows. The program included on CD solves up to 40,000
ordinary differential equations and implements exceptionally fast
and convenient vector operations.

The text begins with an introduction to dynamic-system
simulation, including a demonstration of a simple guided-missile
simulation. Among the other highlights of coverage are:

* Models that involve sampled-data operations and sampled-data
difference equations, including improved techniques for proper
numerical integration of switched variables

* Novel vector compiler that produces exceptionally fast programs
for vector and matrix assignments, differential equations, and
difference equations

* Application of vector compiler to parameter-influence studies
and Monte Carlo simulation of dynamic systems

* Vectorized Monte Carlo simulations involving time-varying
noise, derived from periodic pseudorandom-noise samples

* Vector models of neural networks, including a new pulsed-neuron
model

* Vectorized programs for fuzzy-set controller, partial
differential equations, and agro-ecological models replicated at
many points of a landscape map

This text is intended for graduate-level students, engineers,
and computer scientists, particularly those involved in aerospace,
control system design, chemical process control, and biological
systems. All readers will gain the practical skills they need to
design sophisticated simulations of dynamic systems.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are
not included as part of eBook file.
