Workstation for integrated system design and development
Article Abstract:
Hardware in the loop simulation has been proven as a very cost effective method in design, development, modification and testing of sophisticated industrial control systems. The Workstation for Integrated System Design and Development presented in this article allows: highly efficient real time simulation of dynamic systems using the available multiprocessor resources, microprocessor control system design and implementation using suitable software package for synthesis and code generation, testing and verification of microprocessor based controller using real time interaction with multiprocessor simulator. The hardware configuration of Workstation for ISDD is based on inexpensive general purpose single board computers, which are very attractive and more favorable in speed/cost ratio in relation to the other powerful single processor solution. The appropriate examples show the applicability of these multi-microprocessor resources in: real time simulation of linear time invariant systems, comparative analysis of different discretization techniques and digital control system design and testing.

Unbiased statistics and simulation of continuous mail processing
Article Abstract:
Simulation is used to determine the number of sorting devices needed in an automated postal system facility. The model deals with mail types with great variability in processing characteristics. Interactions between continuously and sequentially processed batches at the sorting stations introduces a bias in conventionally collected statistics. This type of interaction in effect necessitates computation of statistics based on moving averages. Unfortunately, none of the simulation languages provide this capability as a standard output. Although the logic of the basic simulation is straightforward, the model must be significantly modified to produce unbiased or undistorted statistics. SIMNET and SLAM II are used for independently developed final models. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
