Abstract:
This thesis presents a two step automatic transformation of Field Artillery Mission Space Conceptual Models (ACMs) into High Level Architecture (HLA) Federation Architecture Models (FAMs) into executable distributed simulation code. The approach followed in the course of this thesis adheres to the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) philosophy. Both ACMs and FAMs are formally defined conforming to their metamodels, ACMM and FAMM, respectively. ACMM is comprised of a behavioral component, based on Live Sequence Charts (LSCs), and a data component based on UML class diagrams. Using ACMM, the Adjustme

Abstract:
This work is a theoretical study of fermionic models. We focus on problems where highly controllable quantum simulators of these models have an important role, and we utilise both the analogue and the digital paradigm of quantum simulation. In the part on analogue quantum simulation, we focus on the proposed 'spin-asymmetric' Josephson effect where Cooper-paired spins display frequency synchronized Josephson oscillations with spin-dependent amplitudes. We consider different scenarios where the phenomenon could manifest in ultracold atomic Fermi gases. We study a Fermi gas Josephson junction in

Abstract:
In today's world, with ever increasing competition, modelling and simulation proves to be a very helpful tool. Many methodologies exist to help build a simulation model from scratch. In terms of adaptability, most current attempts focus on either the operational side, ie the automated integration of data into a model, or the creation of new software. However, very few attempts are being made to improve the adaptability of shelved models built in existing simulation software. As a result, there is a certain reluctance, in some areas, to use simulation to its full potential. Based on these facts

Abstract:
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a computer-based analysis of the dynamics of fluid flow, and it is widely used in chemical and process engineering applications. However, computation usually becomes a herculean task when calibration of the CFD models with experimental data or sensitivity analysis of the output relative to the inputs is required. This is due to the simulation process being highly computationally intensive, often requiring a large number of simulation runs, with a single simulation run taking hours or days to be completed.

Similarly, there are limited opportunities to test new medical devices or procedures without putting patients at harm.

No phenomenological arguments (e.g., of eddy viscosity type) are used to develop these new ROM closure models.

Abstract:
Complex simulation models are being increasingly used in ecological modelling as a way of trying to understand a system by examining the processes that make up that system. Complex simulation models generally model behaviour of a system through a series of rules or algorithms, rather than describing it in a formal mathematical way and this can be a good way of capturing an ecologist's expertise and intuition. When interpreting outputs from such a model, it is important to allow for uncertainty due to parameter values which may not be known precisely and structural or implementation aspects. Th
