Experiments in Model Integration

Abstract

In this chapter the application of KDA/ABI model integration strategies is demonstrated. The design of the experiments performed including rationale is presented and followed by results procured. Simulation experiments were carried out to prove the efficacy of the KDA/ABI approach. The process of generating BITs to identify system/model components and behaviours (i.e. points of integration) is demonstrated. The process of (literature published) model decomposition is demonstrated via a genetic algorithm and subsequent integration is performed by combining BITs and resultant behaviour analysed.
