Computer-aided teaching of practical subjects in engineering education poses new challenges. Computers have to be configured to support the particular requirements of each subject. Virtual environments allow the building of a virtual machine (VM) tailored to the requirements of each subject, allowing flexible, versatile, and low-cost laboratory configurations. However, the use of multiple VM at a...
We present a full-wave numerical tool for the simulation of plasma antennas. The tool makes use of a hybrid formulation that allows treating the plasma with a Finite Element discretization, and the metallic parts with the Method of Moments. The finite element discretization is solved using a state-of-the-art sparse solver (MUMPS) in order to reduce the computational time at a minimum. The accuracy...
The work presented in this paper is part of the autonomous planning architecture of a team of aerial robots equipped with on-board robotic arms. The mission of the team is the construction of structures in places where the access is difficult by conventional means, which is the scenario considered in the framework of the ARCAS European Project. This paper presents three automatic planners in this...
We propose a methodology for the fast analysis of the EM fields generated by the transmit radio-frequency coils when operating in the presence of realistic human body models (RHBM). This work is driven by the need of fast and accurate specific absorption rate (SAR) prediction and coil design analysis in the context of high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). These RHBM are highly inhomo-geneous...
In this paper, we describe our concept for overcoming the data barriers of building credible synthetic populations to assist the transformation between social theories and mathematical models. We specifically developed a 31-million-agent model of Afghanistan's population to demonstrate the ability to computationally control and analytically manipulate a system with the large number of agents (i.e...
Performance is an open issue in data intensive applications. Finding the best implementation and influential performance factors of hardware and software platforms for the data intensive applications requires trial and error. However, it is very difficult and costly to perform these trials in a real large-scale environment. In this paper we use a generic simulation framework SIMCAN to simulate hardware...
In this paper we present new techniques for simulating high performance MPI applications on large storage networks. Performance analysis of high performance application on large storage networks is a very complex and time-consuming task. However, modelling and studying the behaviour of any application on complex network architectures is crucial to obtain good performance. The goal of this work is...
