Finally, the paper includes future plans of how the HIL simulator can be improved in accuracy and flexibility.
To illustrate how the proposed simulator could be used to investigate questions of clinical relevance, we present the results of an investigation into computing ventilator settings that optimally manage the trade-off between ensuring adequate gas exchange and minimizing the risk of ventilator-associated lung injury for an individual COPD patient.
As such, it is a good example of how the FIRM simulator can be expanded to include additional, more realistic characteristics of immunological responses.
Hence, in the context of ultrasound, face validity addresses the question of how realistic is the simulator, for example, in examining the female pelvis and how realistic is the simulated feel (haptic sensation) experienced during the examination.
How to tune the simulator to obtain the correct saturation point for the uncontaminated fluid, using experimental data from the contaminated fluids at the reservoir temperature, is described.
Each delegate was given a brief, general introduction on the purpose of the study and instructions on how to use the simulator and the relevant tutorials.
Different suggestions, mainly graphic, how to improve the simulator (n = 9) was also reported.
In this study, we explain how link and system level simulations are connected and show how the link level simulator serves as a reference to design the system level simulator.
The last section outlines how the agent-based simulator could be used in assisting in the modeling of HIV/AIDS, albeit in a localized environment.
