Real-Time Simulation Technologies: Principles, Methodologies, and Applications

Preface

In real-time simulation and optimization, events occur on a natural time scale. Such real-time behavior has become important, if not essential, for a broad spectrum of applications that include embedded system design, control of dynamic processes, online system adaptation, streaming data acquisition, data assimilation for decision making, and operator training.

Over the past decades, commercially available computing power has been on a steady pace to becoming increasingly powerful, affordable, and available. This, in turn, has contributed to the emergence of highly sophisticated simulation software applications that enable high-fidelity real-time simulation of dynamic systems. In such systems, the correctness of behavior depends not ...
