Mechanism design has found considerable application to the construction of agent-interaction protocols. In the standard setting, the type (e.g., utility function) of an agent is n...
Initial results of an experiment devised to combine Bond-Graph modeling and simulation with genetic programming for automated design of a simple mechatronic system are reported in...
This article introduces the concept of combining both form (CAD models) and behavior (simulation models) of mechatronic system components into component objects. By composing thes...
