This paper presents a component-based modeling technique for systems with continuous
and discrete dynamics. It uses hierarchical composition to hide the implementation details of …

Hybrid system modeling refers to the construction of system models combining both
continuous and discrete dynamics. These models can greatly reduce the complexity of a …

The Hierarchical Modeling and Simulation System (HI-MASS) is a prototype modeling and
simulation system that supports modeling based on the Hierarchical Control Flow Graph …

This paper presents a hierarchical hybrid system modeling and simulation framework using
the Ptolemy II environment. Ptolemy II is a system-level design tool that supports the …

Analysis of large, complex systems requires simulations of hybrid-system dynamics, ie,
dynamics which are best described by a combination of continuous-time and discrete-event …

Hierarchical modeling is a powerful means to handle system simulation model complexity. It
can often be loosely defined, however, creating ambiguities in its application to simulation …

The general hybrid systems modeling language (HSML) described here will serve two
purposes: to define formally what is meant by the term" hybrid system", and to provide the …

Code generation from hybrid system models is a promising approach to producing reliable
embedded systems. This approach presents new challenges as the precise semantics of the …

We present a simulation and design framework for simultaneously designing and modeling
electromechanical systems. By instantiating component objects and connecting them to …

This paper introduces the concept of combining both form (CAD models) and behavior
(simulation models) of mechatronic system components into component objects. By …
