Towards Co-simulation of Embedded Platforms and Physics-Based Models

Abstract

The embedded software in some classes of contemporary cyber-physical systems (CPS) is required to run models of its physical environment in real time and with high accuracy and precision. The question to which extent the embedded software can achieve these requirements largely depends on the properties of the embedded platform (i.e. embedded hardware and middleware). In this paper, we focus on the modelling of some of the properties of an embedded platform and on the co-simulation of these properties with the physics-based models. This will result in an assessment of the influence of the embedded properties on the performance of the physics-based models in early stages of the development of embedded software for CPS.
