Systems, Simulation and Software

Overview

This page contains information about the Systems, Simulation and Software research that has been carried out and is currently being conducted within the Electronics Research Group (ERG). This research includes a range of topics considering various aspects of system design, software engineering and simulation of complex systems.

The following areas continue to be of specific interest:

Programming Languages and Software Engineering.
Object-Oriented Programming Techniques.
The Construction of Process-Oriented Simulation Models

Some of this work has been performed in conjunction with work in other research areas (simulation of satellite networks, development of neural network tools, design of network monitoring utilities, etc).

Project Index

Tracker.
This project involved the construct of a data-fusion based system for the identification of remote vehicles in a naval environment based upon artificial neural network technology.
Aberdeen Neural Development Environment (ANDS).
This is a development environment that was created during the research work for DRA on the Tracker project. ANDS is written in C++ and primarily supports the Kohonen Feature Map model and its derivatives.
Rekursiv computer.
The Rekursiv is an innovative object-based computing system that has been developed by Linn Smart Computing. The Rekursiv system was designed to provide an efficient (fast) implementation of the Lingo language and to provide support for
Simulation survey.
This project is to survey discrete event simulation prototype and simulation systems for the European Space Agency (ESA).
WWW at ERG.
The Electronics Research Group was one of the first WWW servers in the UK. The ERG now provides a NetScape Enterprise server.

other languages by allowing their high-level programming constructs to be microcoded
into single instructions.

Marine Targets Detection Using Artificial Neural Networks.
This project developed neural networks systems for the identification of various marine targets. The project is in collaboration with several Aberdeen based companies.
Reverse Software Engineering Using Artificial Neural Networks.
Neural Map Project.
Various aspects of Neural Networks are also being studied by this project.

Further Information

Information about other research activities is also available from the WWW server. The group has published papers on all of these activities which may be obtained from the publications database available on WWW.
