Hence there is a possibility that the project will be extended</span></h1><br />The project has examined the feasibility of using discrete event simulation (DES) to apply biological control principles to increase the levels of autonomous decision-making within industrial operational systems through the integration of local control with design, planning, and scheduling activities. Concurrently, the project will investigate the potential of applying DES to integrate the modelling and simulation of low level models of biochemical reaction networks with higher level functional concepts. An opportunity will be provided to investigate the application of hierarchical and functional systems notions from industrial operational systems to the analysis of biological control and regulation systems.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dmucfm.co.uk/news/remyleaflet1306.PDF">remyleaflet1306.PDF</a>DMUCFMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202871469327160451noreply@blogger.com
