Abstract :
Symbolic computation has experienced a distinct evolutionary path than numerical computation and this has prevented its proliferation in engineering. This paper offers a contemporary look at how the historical elements in symbolic computation has lead to a renewed interest symbolic in engineering modeling and simulation today. In particular symbolic techniques are showing promise for the modernization of model development and coding techniques in hardware in the loop (HiL) simulation applications. Emerging methodologies are indicating significant reduction in effort in model development and an acceleration of the actual computation coded in HiL and embedded code applications.
