Hybrid co-simulation: it’s about time

Co-simulation of Hybrid Systems: Signal-Simulink

This article presents an approach to simulating hybrid systems. We show how a discrete controller that controls a continuous environment can be co-simulated with the environment (plant) using C-code generated automatically from mathematical models. This approach uses Signal with Simulink to model complex hybrid systems. The choices are motivated by the fact that Signal is a powerful tool for mo...

Foundations for Continuous Time Hierarchical Co-simulation

Complex systems have to decomposed into sub-systems which are developed by specialized teams. Modeling and simulation techniques help each team achieve a locally optimal solution but they fail to help all teams achieve a globally optimal solution. This is due to each team having its own models made in its own tools, and external suppliers having intellectual property. The result is that it is d...

Co-Simulation of a Hybrid Multi-Context Architecture

Reconfigurable computing architectures aim to dynamically adapt their hardware to the application at hand. As research shows, the time it takes to reconfigure the hardware forms an overhead that can significantly impair the benefits of hardware customization. Multi-context devices are one promising approach to overcome the limitations posed by long reconfiguration times. In contrast to more tra...

Hybrid co-simulation of FMUs using DEV&DESS in MECSYCO

Co-simulation is a key tool in the design and operation of a growing number of complex cyber-systems. But efficiently yet accurately combining continuous time components (such as FMUs) with event-based ones can be challenging, both from a modeling perspective and an operational, tools-oriented one. We propose a platform to tackle this problem building up on MECSYCO, a MAS-based DEVS wrapping pl...
