Modeling Multi Level Systems

This book presents the design optimization method for switched reluctance motors (SRMs) and drive systems. It covers an in-depth literature review on the status and potential trend of design optimization techniques for SRMs, including design theory, modeling methods, topologies, control methods, and techniques for optimization efficiency and effects. Readers will discover new design methods based on the specific nonlinear characteristics of SRMs, and multi-objective optimization methods for the design of high-quality switched reluctance drive systems without or with the consideration of uncertainties, i.e., the deterministic and robust approaches. Multi-mode design optimization method regarding SRMs is investigated and some examples are presented. In addition, some essential trends in design optimization development are presented and highlighted as future perspectives. This book benefits students, researchers, engineers, and companies in the field of electrical drive design and manufacturing.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fusion 360

This book serves as a reference for researchers and designers in Embedded Systems who need to explore design alternatives. The MULTICUBE project (an EU Seventh Framework Programme project) has focused on this problem for the past three years and is the basis for this book. It provides a design space exploration methodology for the analysis of system characteristics and the selection of the most appropriate architectural solution to satisfy requirements in terms of performance, power consumption, number of required resources, etc.

Mathematical and Computational Modeling and Simulation - a highly multi-disciplinary field with ubiquitous applications in science and engineering - is one of the key enabling technologies of the 21st century. This book introduces to the use of Mathematical and Computational Modeling and Simulation in order to develop an understanding of the solution characteristics of a broad class of real-world problems. The relevant basic and advanced methodologies are explained in detail, with special emphasis on ill-defined problems. Some 15 simulation systems are presented on the language and the logical level. Moreover, the reader can accumulate experience by studying a wide variety of case studies. The latter are briefly described within the book but their full versions as well as some simulation software demos are available on the Web. The book can be used for University courses of different level as well as for self-study. Advanced sections are marked and can be skipped in a first reading or in undergraduate courses.

Increasingly demanding modern applications—such as those used in telecommunications networking and real-time processing of audio, video, and multimedia streams—require multiple processors to achieve computational performance at the rate of a few giga-operations per second. This necessity for speed and manageable power consumption makes it likely that the next generation of embedded processing systems will include hundreds of cores, while being increasingly programmable, blending processors and configurable hardware in a power-efficient manner.

This book highlights many fundamental aspects of optical fiber transmission engineering while also focusing on current state of the art applications and working examples of digital coherent optical communications. Major engineering themes are reviewed and analyzed in this book, including spectral and time-domain characteristics of multi-level pseudo-random PAM signals, optical QAM and SSB complex modulations and impulse response engineering of linear amplifiers used in next-generation Gbaud transmission systems.
