Recent years have seen a proliferation of the use of simulation models in computational science. Most of these models have never been independently replicated by anyone but the original developer. Furthermore, there is a growing credibility gap due to widespread, relaxed attitudes in communication of experiments, models, and validation of simulations used in computational research. We examine various issues and challenges involved in model replication and simulation experiment reproducibility. Model-driven simulation engineering principles and model transformation concepts are adopted as solution strategies to improve replicability of models and reproducibility of experiments. A process model, an architectural framework, and an implementation strategy is introduced to address identified issues in simulation experiment management and model replication.

TOWARD A MODEL-DRIVEN ENGINEERING FRAMEWORK FOR REPRODUCIBLE SIMULATION EXPERIMENT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT Teran-Somohano, Alejandro; Dayibas, Orcun; Yılmaz, Levent; Smith, Alice (2014-12-10) Goal-directed reproducible experimentation with simulation models is still a significant challenge. The underutilization of design of experiments, limited transparency in the collection and analysis of results, and ad-hoc adaptation of experiments as learning takes place continue to hamper reproducibility and hence cause a credibility gap. In this study, we propose a strategy that leverages the synergies between model-driven engineering, intelligent agent technology, and variability modeling to support the ...
Supporting Simulation Experiments with Megamodeling Cam, Sema; Dayibas, Orcun; Gorur, Bilge K.; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Yilmaz, Levent; Chakladar, Sritika; Doud, Kyle; Smith, Alice E.; Teran-Somohano, Alejandro (SCITEPRESS, AV D MANUELL, 27A 2 ESQ, SETUBAL, 2910-595, PORTUGAL; 2018-01-01) Recent developments in computational science and engineering allow a great deal of experimental work to be conducted through computer simulation. In a simulation experiment, a model of the phenomena to be studied is run in a computing environment under varying model and environment settings. As models are adjusted to experimental procedures and execution environments, variations arise. Models also evolve in time. Thus, models must be managed. We propose to bring Global Model Management (GMM) to bear on simu...
Toward Data-Driven Models of Legged Locomotion using Harmonic Transfer Functions Uyanik, Ismail; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Cowan, Noah J.; Morgul, Omer; Saranlı, Uluç (2015-07-31) There are limitations on the extent to which manually constructed mathematical models can capture relevant aspects of legged locomotion. Even simple models for basic behaviours such as running involve non-integrable dynamics, requiring the use of possibly inaccurate approximations in the design of model-based controllers. In this study, we show how data-driven frequency domain system identification methods can be used to obtain input–output characteristics for a class of dynamical systems around their limit...
Approximate analysis and condition assesment of reinforced concrete t-beam bridges using artificial neural networks Dumlupınar, Taha; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been employed for estimation and prediction purposes in many areas of civil/structural engineering. In this thesis, multilayered feedforward backpropagation algorithm is used for the approximate analysis and calibration of RC T-beam bridges and modeling of bridge ratings of these bridges. Currently bridges are analyzed using a standard FEM program. However, when a large population of bridges is concerned, such as the one considered in this project (Pen...
Use of simulated strong ground motion records in earthquake engineering applications Karimzadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) With the recent advances in scientific computing, ground motion simulations have become more common. However, use of simulated motions for earthquake engineering purposes is still not well investigated. In this thesis, the efficiency of records simulated with the stochastic finite-fault technique in seismic demand estimation is studied in two different earthquake engineering applications. First, vulnerability assessment in a selected region, Erzincan (Turkey) is performed with simple single-degree-of-freedo...
