Interactive demonstration of a java-based simulator of dynamical systems

In this paper, an interactive demonstration of a java-based simulator of dynamical systems is presented. This simulator implements linear low-order process models (first order, second order and third order). Open-loop control and closed-loop tests can be done with the application. The main contribution is a Java application that can be used by the instructor / user in a blended learning environment to teach / learn the basic notions of dynamical systems, in open-loop control and also in closed-loop control, running on all the most popular operating systems.
