Development of Continuous Deformation Monitoring Systems Using Elements of Discrete-Event Simulation

This paper considers some aspects of the development of continuous automated systems for monitoring objects with slowly varying parameters using deformation monitoring as an example. Most attention is paid to a number of difficulties in software development at the stage of debugging and testing caused by the low rate of change of monitored variables. It is shown that these problems can be solved based on the methods used in discrete-event simulation. For this purpose, we have developed our own modeling system in the form of a Python-language library focused on solving monitoring problems. The library was used in the autonomous operation of the deformation monitoring system based on the complex of geophysical sensors SNMK Strazh.
