Abstract:
In order to maintain good transmit signals, a monitoring station was required. CBC set up a monitoring station on the Richardson Sideroad in 1968 to monitor broadcasts from Sackville, NB, expanding to monitor other CBC transmit locations in 2003, when the site became the National Alarm Centre. There are more than 900 transmitters to monitor. The site is also the maintenance centre for the Ottawa area – for transmitters at Barry’s Bay, Chapleau, Kingston and Cornwall. Twenty-three people are employed on site; the site is active 24 hours per day, 7 days a week .

Abstract:
Recent advances in computer technology have influenced simulation techniques to become an effective approach to understand physical systems. In recent years, grid-shaped cellular models have gained popularity in this sense. In particular, the DEVS formalism has been widely used with these purposes.
In this presentation we will show how to use the DEVS formalism and Cell-DEVS and their use in Biomedical applications. We will focus on varied examples on how to model different examples of application, and discuss open research issues in this area. We will start with an introduction to different models in physics (diffusion, binary solidification, excitable media, surface tension, etc.). We will then show some examples of the current use of the methodology in a model of heart tissue simulation, synapsin-vesicle interaction in nerve terminals and in models of artery clogging. We will focus in showing how the application of these techniques can improve model definition. We will also focus in describing how to create models that can be executed automatically in a parallel environment without any modifications to the original models, or user intervention. We will finally discuss current open topics in the area, which include advanced methods for centralized, parallel or distributed execution of the models.
