Intellectual Property A legal term that refers to creations of
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



the mind. Intellectual property can be protected through patents,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



trademarks or copyrights. i,- i,-




Link Blue Box
i,- The first modern pilot trainer invented by
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



Edwin Link of Binghamton, NY. The trainer, pneumatically
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



operated, was used extensively in World War II to train US and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



allied pilots. i,-




Live Simulation
i,- A type of simulation that typically involves i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



humans and/or equipment and activity in a setting where they
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



would normally operate.

Mathematical Model Mathematical models are usually i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



composed of relationships and variables. Relationships can be
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



described by operators, such as algebraic operators, functions,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



differential operators, etc. Variables are abstractions of system
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



parameters of interest, that can be quantified. Several
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

,classification criteria can be used for mathematical models i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



according to their structure. i,- i,- i,-




Linear vs. nonlinear i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- If all the operators in a mathematical
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



model exhibit i,-




linearity, the resulting mathematical model is defined as linear.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



Nonlinearity, even in fairly simple systems, is often associated i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



with phenomena such as chaos and irreversibility. Although there
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



are exceptions, nonlinear systems and models tend to be more
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



difficult to study than linear ones. A common approach to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



nonlinear problems is linearization, but this can be problematic if
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



one is trying to study aspects such as irreversibility, which are
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



strongly tied to nonlinearity. i,- i,- i,-




Static vs. dynamic A dynamic model accounts for time-
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



dependent changes in the state of the system, while a static (or i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



steady-state) model calculates the system in equilibrium, and i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



thus is time-invariant. Dynamic models typically are represented
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



by differential equations.

Augmented Reality An enhanced image or environment as i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



viewed on a screen, head-mounted, or other display, produced by
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



overlaying computer-generated images, sounds, or other data on i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



a LIVE real-world environment.

, Client/Server Model In the client-server model of computing, i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



tasks are distributed between a service provider, called a server,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



and a service requester, or client. The client-server model was
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



widely used in the early days of computing, when access to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



expensive mainframe computers was provided by dumb i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



terminals. More recently, the client- server model proved crucial
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



to the development of the Internet. There are several models for
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



client-server interaction, with the main difference being the i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



amount of work performed on each side. (Think Laptop as client
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



machine, HTTP Search bar as client program, and Server asi,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



computer program that responds to requests like HTTP requests.)i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




Discrete Event Model Simulation Models that simulate the
i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



operation of a system as a discrete sequence of events in time.i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



change of state in the system. It is a valuable analysis tool for
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



improving system effectiveness and efficiencies. Example: Model i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



a queue, such as customers arriving at a bank to be served by a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



teller.


Environmental Model A numerical model, parametric model, i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



or database designed to produce an accurate and consistent data
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



set for one or more parameters that characterize the state of the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



natural environment. The environmental simulation is a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



simulation that depicts all or part of the natural or manmade i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



environment of a system; for example, a simulation of the radar i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
