INTEGRATED MODELING AND SIMULATION FOR CYBERPHYSICAL SYSTEMS EXTENDING MULTI-DOMAIN MS TO THE DESIGN COMMUNITY

摘要

Modeling and Simulation is increasingly important in managing design of complex cyber-physical systems. The diversity of tools, each with unique syntax and semantics, necessitates creation of multiple independent models in order to fully analyze a system. In addition to increasing the cost and time required to fully leverage computational tools, issues with model synchronization present a hazard. This is only compounded when multiple design options must be considered. In this paper, we discuss work on the OpenMETA framework (Sztipanovits et al 2015), which uses a single integrated model, coupled with automated design composition to transform the model into the specific syntax and semantics of multiple analysis tools for computing system performance. Design space specification primitives, and exploration tools allow an entire design family to be explored, across multiple physical domains and levels of abstraction. A simple design study is reviewed to demonstrate the process.
