SunGuard: A Roofing Tile for Natural Cooling

Not Available EDAptive Computing, Inc., Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation, and Dr. Robert Klenke of the Virginia Commonwealth University present a unique and commercially-viable solution to the problem of effectively modeling C3 networks to ensure optimal performance is obtained through design and implementation. Our C3 Enhanced Network Technology Simulation (CENTS) program will apply proven and viable performance modeling techniques, developed by the electronic design automation industry, to the problem of accurately modeling the performance of C3. Specifically, we propose to use the VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) as the standard modeling language. Upon this VHDL foundation we would develop a GUI set in the C3 user's context, so that the VHDL engine would function transparently under the C3 analyst's command. To this VHDL foundation we would connect an HLA interface to permit access to models in other formats, including legacy models. Further, we will leverage AFRL-sponsored Advanced Collaborative Engineering Environment for Electronic Design (ACEED) program to create a collaborative simulation environment, thereby including models in remote locations. The major Phase I results will be (1) A Demonstration of critical design aspects, and (2) A Final Report documenting all the investigations, decisions, findings, commercialization strategy, and demonstrations occurring during the Phase I program.
