Abstract
Scicos is a ScicosLab toolbox for modeling and simulation of dynamical systems. Scicos is particularly useful for modeling systems where continuous-time and discrete-time components are interconnected. Such models can be programmed directly in Scilab using the ode and dassl functions, studied previously, but that requires programming the discrete-time dynamics in the Scilab language. These programs are often complex and difficult to debug. Moreover, there is no simple systematic way of programming them in a modular fashion.
