DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FEDERATING AND INTEGRATING REAL OR SIMULATED SYSTEMS IN ORDER TO SIMULATE THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE THUS DEVELOPED SYSTEM

摘要

A simulation and experimentation device, having one or more subsystems (11, 12, 13) are involved in a simulation of a given future system. For each subsystem (11, 12, 13) a data taking device (21, 22, 23), has a given profile. A central monitoring system (3) is designed for processing the data taken in order at least to synchronize them and manage their life-cycle. An experimentation platform (4) is adapted to support one or more models designed to simulate real systems or plans. The platform has an interface (4c) for monitoring and controlling the application of commands, and a means for carrying out steps. The platform has at least one application program (4p) designed to work out and monitor the additional classes of data to be aggregated to the entities resulting from the application of the models and/or work out various entities from the data coming from the central device (3), and/or work out simulation layers within the application program of the experimentation platform (4) from chosen parameters, synchronize and merge the layers with each other in order to produce a composite model.
