چکیده

Heterogeneous systems combining several technologies will potentially overcome several performances and applicability limitations, as well as providing new useful features. However, their design is currently confronted to important challenges. One of the key challenges is the integration of pre-built components specific to different application domains (e.g. electrical, mechanical, optical, etc.). In this context, new CAD tools are mandatory to offer a global view of the designed systems and to enable their overall validation. This paper presents a generic discrete–continuous simulation model for an accurate global validation in heterogeneous systems design. This model enables to use powerful tools for the discrete and continuous domains. Solutions are proposed for model’s layers implementation in the case of SystemC and Simulink simulators. The continuous–discrete simulation tool is proposed. This tool integrates the two previous simulators by automatically generating global simulation model instances. The evaluation of the simulation model was performed using an illustrative application. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Modeling of Continuous Systems Using Modified Petri Nets

Due to the changes which may occur in their parameters, systems are usually demonstrated by some subsystems for different conditions. This paper employs Modified Petri Nets (MPN) to model theses subsystems and makes it simple to analyze them. In this method, first, the continuous transfer function is converted to a discrete transfer function and then, by MPN, system is modeled and analyzed. All...

A formalization of global simulation models for continuous/discrete systems

Many of the modern systems integrate components specific to different application domains. Frequently these systems combine continuous and discrete sub-systems and therefore their design involves solving specific global modeling and simulation problems. This paper addresses the formal representation of a continuous/discrete global synchronization model and the corresponding simulation interface...

A New Approach of Qualitative Simulation for the Validation of Hybrid Systems

Hybrid systems are specified in a heterogeneous form, with discrete and continuous parts. Simulating such systems requires precise data and computational power in order to synchronize continuous changes and discrete transitions. However, in the early design stages, the lack of precision about some parameters forbids such simulations. Qualitative simulation consists in computing only some qualit...
