The present paper describes a CAD environment developed to model, simulate and evaluate the correctness and performance of distributed real-time control systems. The flexible modular approach allows the clear separation of the definition and evaluation of a control algorithm as a stand-alone entity from that of the synchronization mechanisms among tasks and processors. Particular care has been paid to ensure a consistent temporal evolution and to the economicity and uniformity of the representation of structurally different tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
