Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have proven to be a powerful and enduring graphically-oriented framework for modelling and performance analysis of complex systems. This tutorial focu...
Abstract. A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. The insertion model simulates three-degree-of-freedom needle motion, physically-based needle forces,...
In this paper, we present an adaptive model for dynamically deforming hyper-elastic rods. In contrast to existing approaches, adaptively introduced control points are not governed...
This tutorial explains the basics of linear regression metamodels—especially low-order polynomials—and the corresponding statistical designs—namely, fractional factorial des...
This paper describes an application of recently developed qualitative reasoning techniques to complex, socio{economic allocation problems. We explain why we believe traditional op...
