Bond Graph Modeling and Simulation
This track focuses on Bond Graph modeling techniques for dynamic
systems.
Bond Graphs are a graphical description formalism that is
particularly
suited for the design of mechatronic systems, i.e.,
for engineering systems with mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or
pneumatic components
that include interactions of physical phenomena from various energy
domains.
Moreover, Bond Graphs can be used not only for modeling and simulation
but for
diagnosis of dynamic physical systems and for control system design as
well.
Last but not least, the graphical and causal properties of Bond Graphs
are
well suited for software implementation.
The topics of this track include (but are not limited to):
· Bond Graph Theory (e.g., for Analysis and Control, for Diagnosis, ... )
· Advanced Bond Graph Methodology
· Model synthesis, assembly, reduction and validation with Bond Graphs
· Bond Graphs and Block Diagrams
· Computer Graphics and Bond Graph Modeling
· Control Systems
· Mechatronic Systems
· Mechanical Systems and Robotics
· Electrical and Power Systems
· Process Engineering (Chemical, Fluid Power Systems ...)
· Software and Tools
· Industrial Applications of the Methodology
· Model applications include Automotive, Manufacturing,
Transportation,
MEMS, Aerospace, etc
Original papers written in English are solicited for
consideration
on the basis of a full paper review.
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Moreover, the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit
an
elaborated manuscript for possible inclusion in a special issue of an
international journal.
