====================================
====================================


This program is for students who are interested in exploring the ways in 
which advances in science, technology, theory and criticism are 
extending the range of the possible in the conception, production, 
execution and inhabitation of architecture. Emphasis is on pure rather 
than applied research, but this is advanced primarily through empirical 
and production-oriented methods, that is, through the experimentation 
with, the simulation, production, and testing of works such as drawings, 
models, prototypes, environments, performances, computer programs, 
etc.,  as well as their documentation. The aim of the program in 
Advanced Design Research is to anticipate and encourage developments 
in architectural theory and practice, to advance the body of 
architectural knowledge, and to produce researchers, artists, and 
practitioners capable of facing the challenges of an information era.

Topics of study that students may pursue include: 

	Computation and Composition; 
	Music and Architecture; 
	Shape Grammars and Other Formal Systems;

Dear Who it may concern...

	Is there any trials or researches in simulation area using Fuzzy
	concept? If it is, how can we use fuzzy concept in every step
	of simulation? (data collection, validation of input data,
	experimentation, validation of output data, etc.)

	I want to know some trials on simulation using FUZZY conception.
	Only what I've read about simulation using FUZZY is the fields FUZZY
	LOGIC in implementing Knowledge Based Simulation.
	What other steps in simulation can we use Fuzzy conception?
	(i.e using FUZZY in data collection step,verification step...)
	Is there any paper concering that?

	Please let me know all various trials using Fuzzy in simulation area.
	I'll appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks in advance...

Could anyone out there give me some reference on how to generate random
vectors with distribution of multivariate normal truncated on hyperplane
in R^n ? I am interested in methods other than rejection technique.

Thanks.

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for references to "real world" applications for real-time systems 
with hard deadlines. 

Basically I need the description of workloads, and any reference to
papers that describe control applications and give some notion about how
they partitioned their programs will help.

Areas using hard real time systems include robotics, aviation, engine control, 
nuclear reactor control, chemical mixing units, satellite control,...... 

I posted this request a while back, but got only 1 response with a reference 
and lots of responses with:
              "I am interested in the responses you get"

I will appreciate any responses and will be happy to share them. Just
send a note.

Thanks 
	Axel

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only real things I got so far are:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A paper by P.Shaffer (IEEE Control Systems June 1990)
"A Multiprocessor Implementation of Real-Time Control for a Turbojet Engine",
gives the computation graph for the control program of a supersonic turbofan
with afterburner is given. This is a 64 vertex graph, and for each the 64 
procedures the max duration is indicated.

I will be teaching a course in simulation next semester.  I have
taught this course based on Fortran, SLAM and Simscript, using a
mainframe.  The students are juniors and seniors in Computer
Science.

This time I am giving serious consideration to using GPSS/H as one
textbook, _An Introduction to Simulation_, by Thomas J. Schriber,
John Wiley and Sons, 1990, provides a GPSS/H compiler on diskette
for the PC with the text.   Does anyone know of a text which
provides the compiler with the test other than this one?  Has
anyone used this text -- how did the students like it?

I am trying to find information on software simulations of
military datalinks, such as tadil-a, -b, -j, or atdl1.  I
would appreciate any leads anyone may have in this area.  If
there is interest (which I doubt there will be, but just in
case) I will summarize to this group.

 We are looking for a simulation of a laser radar simulation for the
 generation of signature data. 
 It can be government, university, commmerical or public domain.

 Can someone point us to a possible source for this type of simulation.
