Diff/Wave-MAS2D: a simulation platform for measurement and actuation scheduling in distributed parameter systems with mobile actuators and sensors

This paper presents a simulation platform called Diff/Wave-MAS2D we have developed for measurement scheduling and distributed controls in distributed parameter systems with networked moving sensors and moving actuators. The background information for this simulation platform is introduced and the main features of the software packages are discussed. Two illustrative simulation examples (diffusion control and wave equation control) are demonstrated to show some of the capabilities and unique features of this simulation platform.
