Integrated Autonomous Model System as Research Media

This paper introduces concept and method of Integrated Autonomous Model System (IAMS) which is developed as organized content in dedicated collaborative virtual space (CVS).IAMS is a recent result and at the same time a possible answer to new requests by engineering related research. Development of IAMS in CVS uses capabilities offered by Modeling Sotware Platform (MSP). IAMS is devoted as model system which is capable of system, situation, behavior, and context representation. In its application proposed in this paper, IAMS is a purposeful experimental model serving research and represents results in applied informatics and applied mathematics in model environment suitable for development, validation, and experimental application of results. Research using IAMS is planned in the organization of a Virtual Research Laboratory (VRL). In this paper, first the relevant elements of recently modified concept of VRL are briefed to introduce contributions in this paper. Following this, IAMS is characterized as integrated media of research. Next, definition of global research organization in CVS using cloud organized services by research purpose configured MSP in the VRL is explained. Finally, PhD research program in functional organic shape modeling as means for the representation of living organizations in close connection with modeling of engineering shapes is introduced as example for key areas in future research at VRL.
