Yingfu deposits Masters thesis

Yingfu has completed and deposited his masters thesis at Halmstad University.  The title of his thesis is "Lightweight Three-Dimensional Visualization for Hybrid Systems Simulation."  The basic idea behind the thesis is to find an easy way to give engineers access to some of the most basic functionality provided by OpenGL in a way that can help them during the process of modeling and simulation of cyber-physical systems.  In the propose approach, all the user needs to do is to define the value of some special variables, and they are automatically used to generate an 3D animation based on the results of the simulation.  The thesis, defense presentation, and all related Acumen models can be found in online archive available from the group website.  Yingfu and Anita are working on writing up the results as a conference submission.
