Verification and validation (V&V) are the primary means to assess accuracy and reliability in
computational simulations. This paper presents an extensive review of the literature in V&V …

Model-Based Systems Engineering explains the fundamental theories behind model-based
systems and the considerations involved in applying theory to the design of real systems …

The discipline of modeling has advanced only slowly compared to disciplines concerned
with analyzing and solving models once they are brought into being. Structured Modeling is …

Hierarchical, modular specification of discrete-event models offers a basis for reusable
model bases and hence for enhanced simulation of truly varied design alternatives. We …

In a previous article, about 100 definitions of simulation, grouped in three categories and
nine types were presented (Ören 2011b). In this article a critical review of previous …

Engineers and scientists need powerful formalisms to make conceptual models of systems
in order to analyze and design them. These models can be used to verify the behavior of the …

In this paper we present an approach to combined discrete-continuous modelling which can
be used to model and simulate an intelligent multi-layer control architecture as can be found …

Unter Berücksichtigung komplexitätswissenschaftlicher Denkmodelle analysiert Henning
Bandte das Phänomen Komplexität aus organisationstheoretischer Perspektive. Im …

Discontinuity is conceived from a new point of view. The new causal paradigm leads to the
concepts “model update” and “multimodel.” Based on this new paradigm, several problem …

AW Wymore, the founder of the world's first systems engineering department at the
University of Arizona, has been at the origin of the system theoretic foundations of modeling …
