Complex Systems Models: Engineering Simulations
Fiona Polack, Tim Hoverd, Adam T. Sampson, Susan Stepney, Jon Timmis · Kent Academic Repository (University of Kent) · 2008
As part of research towards the CoSMoS unified infrastructure for modelling and simulating complex systems, we review uses of definitional and descriptive models in natural science and computing, and existing integrated platforms. From these, we identify requirements for engineering models of complex systems, and consider how some of the requirements could be met, using state-of-the-art model management and a mobile, process-oriented computing paradigm.
