  • The increasing importance of such fields as embedded systems, pervasive computing, and hybrid systems control is increasing attention to the time-dependent aspects of system modeling. In this paper, we focus on modeling conceptual time. Conceptual time is time represented in conceptual modeling, where the notion of time does not always play a major role. Time modeling in computing is far from exhibiting a unified and comprehensive framework, and is often handled in an ad hoc manner. This paper contributes to the establishment of a broader understanding of time in conceptual modeling based on a software and system engineering model denoted thinging machine (TM). TM modeling is founded on a one-category ontology called a thimac (thing/machine) that is used to elaborate the design and analysis of ontological presumptions. The issue under study is a sample of abstract modeling domains as exemplified by time. The goal is to provide better understanding of the TM model by supplementing it with a conceptualization of time aspects. The results reveal new characteristics of time and related notions such as space, events, and system behavior.

  • This paper illustrates the possibilities of using the program ATP-Draw (Alternative Transient Program) for the modeling of power networks to study power quality problems with highly detailed analyses. The Program ATP-Draw is one of the most widespread and oldest programs. A unique characteristic of this program is its public domain and the existence of forums and study committees where new application cases and modification are presented and shared publicly. In this paper, to study the propagation of harmonics through a power network, a part of an industrial power network was modeled. The network contains different types of electric components, such as transformers, transmission lines, cables and loads, and there is a source of harmonics that injects $3^{rd}$, $5^{th}$, $7^{th}$, $9^{th}$ and $11^{th}$ harmonic currents into the network, causing a distortion of the wave form of the currents and voltages through the power network.

  • Formidable growth of Internet technologies has revealed challenging issues about its scale and performance evaluation. Modeling and simulation play a central role in the evaluation of the behavior and performance of the large-scale network systems. Large numbers of nodes affect simulation performance, simulation execution time and scalability in a weighty manner. Most of the existing simulators have numerous problems such as size, lack of system theoretic approach and complexity of modeled network. In this work, a scalable discrete-event modeling approach is described for studying networks' scalability and performance traits. Key fundamental attributes of Internet and its protocols are incorporated into a set of simulation models developed using the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) approach. Large-scale network models are simulated and evaluated to show the benefits of the developed network models and approaches.

  • Modeling and Simulation(M&S) has widely been used in various areas such as industry, academy and military. Especially, military have used the technology for acquisition, training, and combat assessment. In this paper, we introduce our experience using M&S technique to analyze the network traffic amount and packet delay time between two military bases. For this, we modeled the current network configuration of the military bases and simulated the model with NS-3 tool. The result provided us for an insight regarding the required network performance between two bases.

  • The combined approach of using ego-centric network analysis and dynamic citation network analysis for refining the result of LDA-based topic modeling was suggested and examined in this study. Tow datasets were constructed by collecting Web of Science bibliographic records of White LED and topic modeling was performed by setting a different number of topics on each dataset. The multi-assigned top keywords of each topic were re-assigned to one specific topic by applying an ego-centric network analysis algorithm. It was found that the topical cohesion of the result of topic modeling with the number of topic corresponding to the lowest value of perplexity to the dataset extracted by SPLC network analysis was the strongest with the best values of internal clustering evaluation indices. Furthermore, it demonstrates the possibility of developing the suggested approach as a method of multi-faceted research trend detection.

  • Neural network can be trained to approximate an arbitrary nonlinear function of multivariate data like the mini-mill crown values in Automatic Shape Control. The trained weights of neural network can evaluate or generalize the process data outside the training vectors. Sometimes, the blind modeling of the process data is necessary to compare with the scattered analytical model of mini-mill process in isolated electro-mechanical forms. To come up with a viable model, we propose the blind neural-based range-division domain-clustering piecewise-linear modeling scheme. The basic ideas are: 1) dividing the range of target data, 2) clustering the corresponding input space vectors, 3)training the neural network with clustered prototypes to smooth out the convergence and 4) solving the resulting matrix equations with a pseudo-inverse to alleviate the ill-conditioning problem. The simulation results support the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and it opens a new way to the data analysis technique. By the comparison with the statistical regression, it is evident that the proposed scheme obtains better modeling error uniformity and reduces the magnitudes of errors considerably. Approximatly 10-fold better performance results.

  • This paper shows modeling methods for VBR video trace. It is well known that VBR video trace is characterized as longterm correlated and highly intermittent burst data. To analyze this, we attempt to model it using neural network with auxiliary linear structures derived from residual threshold. For testing purpose, we generate VBR video trace from chaotic nonlinear function combined with the geometric random noise. The modeling result of the generated data shows that the attempted method represents more accurately than the traditional neural network. However, we also found that combining hRU to the attempted modeling method can yield a closer agreement to statistical features of the generated data than the attempted modeling method alone.

  • Purpose: Topic modeling is a text mining technique that extracts concepts from textual data and uncovers semantic structures and potential knowledge frameworks within context. This study aimed to identify major keywords and network structures for each major topic to discern research trends in women's health nursing published in the Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing (KJWHN) using text network analysis and topic modeling. Methods: The study targeted papers with English abstracts among 373 articles published in KJWHN from January 2011 to December 2021. Text network analysis and topic modeling were employed, and the analysis consisted of five steps: (1) data collection, (2) word extraction and refinement, (3) extraction of keywords and creation of networks, (4) network centrality analysis and key topic selection, and (5) topic modeling. Results: Six major keywords, each corresponding to a topic, were extracted through topic modeling analysis: "gynecologic neoplasms," "menopausal health," "health behavior," "infertility," "women's health in transition," and "nursing education for women." Conclusion: The latent topics from the target studies primarily focused on the health of women across all age groups. Research related to women's health is evolving with changing times and warrants further progress in the future. Future research on women's health nursing should explore various topics that reflect changes in social trends, and research methods should be diversified accordingly.

  • As integrity of semiconductor device is increased, accurate and efficient modeling and recipe generation of semiconductor fabrication procsses are necessary. Among the major semiconductor manufacturing processes, dry etc- hing process using gas plasma and accelerated ion is widely used. The process involves a variety of the chemical and physical effects of gas and accelerated ions. Despite the increased popularity, the complex internal characteristics made efficient modeling difficult. Because of difficulty to determine the control input for the desired output, the recipe generation depends largely on experiences of the experts with several trial and error presently. In this paper, the optimal control of the etching is carried out in the following two phases. First, the optimal neural network models for etching process are developed with genetic algorithm utilizing the input and output data obtained by experiments. In the second phase, search for optimal control inputs in performed by means of using the optimal neural network developed together with genetic algorithm. The results of study indicate that the predictive capabilities of the neural network models are superior to that of the statistical models which have been widely utilized in the semiconductor factory lines. Search for optimal control inputs using genetic algorithm is proved to be efficient by experiments. (author). refs., figs., tabs.
