This book introduces a method for modeling engineered systems to persons with a background in mathematics but little or no experience in engineering or physics. The idea emerged from a graduate course that the author taught in the mathematics department at the University of Memphis. Using the method presented here, his mathematics students finished the semester being able to look at an engineering diagram and write its governing equations. The importance of teaching mathematics students th...

GPU-based Parallel Implementation of Swarm Intelligence Algorithms combines and covers two emerging areas attracting increased attention and applications: graphics processing units (GPUs) for general-purpose computing (GPGPU) and swarm intelligence. This book not only presents GPGPU in adequate detail, but also includes guidance on the appropriate implementation of swarm intelligence algorithms on the GPU platform. GPU-based implementations of several typical swarm intelligence algorithms ...

The world is awash with digital data from social networks, blogs, business, science and engineering. Data-intensive computing facilitates understanding of complex problems that must process massive amounts of data. Through the development of new classes of software, algorithms and hardware, data-intensive applications can provide timely and meaningful analytical results in response to exponentially growing data complexity and associated analysis requirements. This emerging area brings many...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd Smoky Mountains Computational Sciences and Engineering Conference on Accelerating Science and Engineering Discoveries Through Integrated Research Infrastructure for Experiment, Big Data, Modeling and Simulation, SMC 2022, held virtually, during August 23–25, 2022.The 24 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: foundational...

Complex artificial dynamic systems require advanced modeling techniques that can accommodate their asynchronous, concurrent, and highly non-linear nature. Discrete Event systems Specification (DEVS) provides a formal framework for hierarchical construction of discrete-event models in a modular manner, allowing for model re-use and reduced development time.Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation presents a practical approach focused on the creation of discrete-event ...
