Augmented Reality in Collaborative Virtual Environment for Discrete Event Systems Modeling and Simulation

Abstract

The construction of complex systems requires necessary planning for its success. The Modeling and Simulation of Discrete Event Systems can help this step with analysis of functioning before the physical modification at the real world. Current Modeling and Simulation software provides several components for the creation of models, but it is necessary to change focus between real system and model when it is created. This change can damage the model validation processing. The proposal intends to show how the development of the model can be directly viewed onto the real world, by using Augmented Reality techniques, and it shows the importance of collaboration modules in this system, which can help teams of complex systems. Theoretical and practical foundations are detailed. The prototype, since the planning until the tests, are described. Results and conclusions are raised.
