Objectives

The broad goal of this project is to develop new theory, algorithms and demonstrations of model-based design strategies for complex systems. This activity is broken up into three broad themes:

  • Systems Modeling Theory and Practice: Development of modeling and analysis tools, with emphasis on hierarchies of simulations that can be used for verification and testing at different levels of fidelity. A key issue is the development of multiple simulations that can be combined to form high fidelity models while at the same time being used in simpler combinations for rapid testing of higher level functions (where highly detailed models are too large or too slow to allow exploration of the relevant design space).

  • Engineering Implementation: Apply analysis and methods in robust-yet-fragile behavior and multi-scale modeling to specific engineering systems of systems that will provide an evaluation of the efficacy of both the framework and the tools toward applications. Two specific testbeds are being used for this purpose: the Caltech multi-vehicle wireless testbed (MVWT) and the Caltech autonomous vehicle testbed ("Alice").

  • Multiscale Analysis of Complex Systems: Study novel approaches to multiscale analysis based on methodologies and techniques developed for physical dynamical systems. To develop the required methodologies and techniques we are focusing on an archetype complex system which may contain a multitude of scales, namely collections of disparate coupled nonlinear oscillators where each oscillator may have its own natural frequency.
