The definition of equipment and components of physical plants is a necessary step towards the development of simulation, control, and supervisory applications for the petrochemical industry. Often it happens that the same plant/equipment is (re)modeled on each application, thereby there is a waste-of-time on repetitive (re)design. Even though each software platform normally offers a different view of the same plant, it is desirable to have some kind of interoperability between them. This paper presents M4PIA, a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) infrastructure devoted for petrochemical industry automation. M4PIA allows representing industrial plants by means of different and interchangeable object-oriented models, providing means to perform automatic code generation from a plant specification for different software platforms. Currently, our work involves using M4PIA in high-level automation manouvers and plant simulations. The use of M4PIA is expected to result in less development time and costs, while it increases efficiency, maintainability, and reliability of the developed applications.

Numerical techniques used in modeling codes for dual-reflector antenna design and analysis

June 1, 1993 - China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC)

An user-oriented computer software consisting of three modeling codes, named DRAD, DRAA and FDPAT, is introduced. It can be used to design three types of Cassegrain system: classical, with shaped subreflector and with dual shaped reflectors, and to analyse radiation patterns for the antennas. Severa...

Verification of interdomain routing system based on formal methods

February 1, 2009 - Tsinghua University Press Ltd.

In networks, the stable path problem (SPP) usually results in oscillations in interdomain systems and may cause systems to become unstable. With the rapid development of internet technology, the occurrence of SPPs in interdomain systems has quite recently become a significant focus of research. A fr...

Reduction and simplification of explicit LTL model checking via an abstraction method

February 1, 2009 - Tsinghua University Press Ltd.

An abstraction method developed for the explicit linear temporal logic model checking was geared towards reducing the useless part of the state space during the abstraction period. This reduces the cost during the abstraction period relative to models requiring many useless states. A dining-philosop...
