Abstract

The Data Analysis and System Modeling Environment (dasme) is a computer-assisted modeling environment, currently under development at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, designed to support ground-based mission operations with a mixed discrete/continuous modeling capability. This paper describes planned cast-based extensions to dasme to support a broader range of systems theoretical computing models, and in particular models utilizing concepts from Generalized Information Theory (git) such as fuzzy systems, possibilistic measurement, and possibilistic processes. Support for model-based diagnostics and trend analysis of spacecraft systems is targetted.
