Model-Based Real-Time Application Development for BioresponsiveBuilding Envelopes

The adoption of Electroactive polymers as display systems in insulated glazing units increases

human performance, comfort and productivity while also contributing to the architectural fa((ade. We

are interested in examining the effect and performance of bioresponsive building envelopes in

providing human thermal and visual comfort. The Discrete-EVent System Specification (DEVS)

formal ism provides a formal foundation to M&S that proved to be successful in different complex

applications. DEVS is a formal M&S methodology, based on generic dynarnic systems, including welldefined

coupling of components, hierarchical, modular construction. Cell-DEVS was origina lly

introduced for modeling and simulation of spatial systems however, there has been no research on

adopting it for patterning the electropolymeric display units. The ru le-based nature of cellular model

behaviour definition in Cell-DEVS provides a platform for pixel-wise operation definition, leading to

easier and faster adoption and implementation of switch able patterns. The other advantage of this

method is its fast computing apparatus working asynchronously on the cellular grid…TOBECONT’D…
