An Intelligent and Flexible Transmission Hypercube Information Model

This Phase I project investigates the dual use potential of advanced information modeling technology in supporting distributed management of the Transmission Hypercube (TH) resources. Rockfish Research specializes in innovative technologies for themodeling, simulation, visualization, and automation of complex system dynamics. We intend to investigate and evaluate innovative methods of distributing, visualizing, and automating aspects of the TH. Our approach is based on developing acomponent-oriented TH Information Model (THIM) that can easily be supplemented, in a plug-n-play manner, as new model elements, rules, and capabilities are developed to manage the TH. By separating engine and model, we believe that this underlyingmodeling system can be commercialized to support a wide variety of modeled system domains.
