Admissible Coarse-to-Fine Continuation of Reacting Hypersonic Flow on Native Hexahedral Grids

Abstract excerpt

A developed reacting-air solution is transferred to an unchanged, 41,962,496-hexahedron domain through an admissibility-checked continuation method. Seven species, two thermal energies, and shear-stress-transport turbulence are coupled through thermodynamic, acoustic, charged-transport, and nonlinear-update equations.

A System Entity Structure Methodology for Verifiable, Embedding-Grounded LLM-Agent Orchestration in DEVS

Abstract excerpt

We present a System Entity Structure methodology for orchestrating large language model agents as a Discrete Event System Specification coupled model, with verification and validation carried out through the DEVS hierarchy of system specifications and its morphisms.

From Rules to Agentic Swarms: A Systems Engineering Journey Through the Evolution of AI

Abstract excerpt

Artificial intelligence (AI) for systems engineering has evolved through six paradigms in five decades: expert systems, machine learning, deep learning, large language models, agentic AI, and agentic swarms, with each paradigm shorter than the last.

Executable Architectures: Integrating Ontology, SysML v2, DEVS, and Agentic AI to Realize the Digital Thread

Abstract excerpt

The digital thread remains fragmented in practice: requirements, architectures, models, and verification evidence are exchanged through documents and manual reconciliation rather than machine-verifiable relationships, and Modeling & Simulation (M&S) therefore functions as a downstream report about the system rather than the system's authoritative executable representation.

Wargaming a Post-Quantum C4ISR Transition: Model-Adjudicated Analysis of Migration Sequencing Under Quantum Disruption

Abstract excerpt

The convergence of three quantum computing milestones in twelve months has compressed the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration timeline from a next-decade concern to a present-day operational imperative.

SI-ENABLED ENGINEERING / RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

The Structural Gap: From Frontier AI to Mission Capability

Abstract excerpt

Commercial frontier AI advances through a global system of computation, research, software development and feedback. Deploying a model inside a defense network does not reproduce the system that continually advances its capability.

AGENTIC SI / MODELING & SIMULATION

Dr. Bernard P. Zeigler and the Foundations of Agents in Artificial Intelligence

Abstract excerpt

Bernard P. Zeigler established a rigorous systems foundation for model-based intelligent agents. With his collaborators, he developed architectures in which agents use internal representations to plan actions, monitor consequences, coordinate with other agents, and recover when execution departs from expectations.

HETEROGENEOUS MODELING & SIMULATION / DEVS

PALLC AI-GEMS: AFSIM, JSE, NGTS and Beyond — A DEVS Blueprint for the Defense Modeling and Simulation Toolchain

Overview

Philipbar Analytics LLC’s Artificial Intelligence for Gaming, Exercise, Modeling & Simulation (PALLC AI-GEMS) applies PALLC’s expertise in the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM), Joint Simulation Environment (JSE), Next Generation Threat System (NGTS), and heterogeneous co-simulation to a common integration problem: preserving temporal event synchronization across independently developed models and simulators.
