“…Co-simulation technology has long been utilized in the aerospace industry [10], primarily by using the HLA standard [11], [12], [13], as well as in the automotive industry [14], [15], [16], primarily using the FMI standard. The maritime industry is slowly starting to follow [4], [17], [18], [19].…”

Abstract-In this work we demonstrate the use of co-simulation technology in the maritime industry through four relevant examples of applications based on the outcome of the knowledgebuilding project Virtual Prototyping of Maritime Systems and Operations (ViProMa). Increasing computational capabilities opens for extended use of simulators in the design processes. Even complex systems can now be analyzed at an early stage of the design process and even in real time using distributed simulation technology. We conduct an assessment of the need for co-simulation technology in the industry, present a short background in co-simulation technology, and provide a short summary of the major findings and deliverables in the ViProMa project (http://viproma.no). The four case studies presented in this work pinpoint different advantages of using co-simulations in the industry, such as combining different modeling and simulation tools, improving collaboration without revealing sensitive information by using black-box models, testing conceptual designs in a fast and consistent manner before initiating building processes, and verifying the interplay between hardware and software in the simulation environment in hardware in the loop (HIL) tests. All the case studies are simulated using the open source co-simulation software Coral developed in the project, using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard, and the co-simulation software can be downloaded from the project's web site.

The proposed paper presents: the description and the analysis of an Analytic Network Process Model for the evaluation and the management of maintenance projects in engineering plant field. The study was made in Ansaldo Energia (AEN), Italian company active in the energy sector, one of the world's major power plant producers. The test cases are three power plants belonging to three important Service customers. Three service contracts that respectively represent, from an HSE (Health Safety Environment) point of view, the "as was", the "as is" and the "to be" are presented and discussed aiming to demonstrate that HSE could be improved in a systematic way. These three examples are characterized by an increase in HSE preventive activities more than the simple actions required to be compliant with HSE laws and rules. The complex of the HSE measures, known in Ansaldo as "HSE package", are generally proposed in service contracts with the aim of improving the overall Customer Satisfaction that, recently, is strictly connected with HSE. Due to a rising general awareness of HSE, many general contractors are facing the complex trade-off among HSE performances improvement and other project KPI (Key Performance Indicator) related to cost saving, making this business even harder than expected. Finally this paper tries to answer these research questions: Is the HSE project with more preventive actions effectively the best project to be implemented by Ansaldo? How much does an improvement of Customer Satisfaction and HSE cost to the company in terms of time and effort?

“…The scenario adopted very simple ROEs: ROEs for Blue Force include detecting and discouraging, not use of lethal force, engaging under approval by HQs, reacting to fire, free engagement; while the ROEs for the submarine include hiding, avoiding contact, reacting to fire, engaging at will; the ROEs are directed by the IA-CGF ; the authors conducted verification and validation (V&V) on the consistency of ROE application respect different conditions by adopting a testing plan (Bruzzone and Massei, 2007;Bruzzone et al, 2002).…”

This paper presents a modelling approach for mapping cyber defence issues with respect to heterogeneous networks; the research is devoted to develop an agent-driven simulation environment able to analyse this problem considering different layers including CIS capabilities, operational issues, system architecture, management processes and human factors. The paper analyses a specific case study to validate and verify the proposed modelling approach; the scenario is focused on a heterogeneous network applied to an extended maritime environment including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), sensors, platforms, vessels, satellites and relevant military assets and threats. The present document uses this case study as example of system of systems to be simulated including cyber warfare issues to evaluate their impact on operations.
