The United States military is interested in facilitating Warfighter training by investigating large-scale realistic virtual operational environments. In order to support expanded training at higher echelons, virtual world simulators need to scale to support more simultaneous client connections, more intelligent agents, and more physics interactions. This work provides an in-depth analysis of a virtual world simulator under different hardware profiles to determine the effect of increased vertical computational scaling. more »

TAS focuses on the construction of system and test specification models that are conform to the standards provided by the Object Management Group (OMG). Specifically, this approach aims at the detection of design errors by simulating the specified system and executing test cases as soon as possible at an early modeling level. In order to facilitate the development process we propose SimTAny: a versatile framework that enables seamless modeling, simulation, and testing of model specifications. The framework combines appropriate tools and software components within an integrated environment based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Eclipse RCP. The TAS approach as well as the SimTAny framework rely on various OMG standards and widely accepted tools. In particular, a combination of the UML and several standardized extension profiles namely SysML, MARTE, and UTP enables the development of high-quality software products based on a standard conform tool chain. The framework provides, among others, a MOFM2T standard conform model-to-text transformation component in order to generate executable simulation code for the simulation engine OMNeT++. In this paper we introduce the main features of the SimTAny framework with a special focus on the utilized OMG standards. more »

In order to interpret high level of abstraction, we often use modeling tools like timed Petri nets (TPNs). Although some subclasses of TPNs (e.g. stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) [17, 19]) can be handled analytically, a general timed Petri net is hard to evaluate via numerical analysis. However, the simulation of SPNs or deterministic and stochastic Petri nets (DSPNs) [16] are supported by many known tools (see, e.g. [3, 20]), it is hard to find a simulation tool for timed Petri nets with generally distributed (i.e., particular but arbitrarily chosen) firing times. In this paper, we present TiPeNeSS (Timed Petri Net Simulator Software) which supports the simulation of timed Petri nets containing transitions with generally distributed firing delays. The input of the software (the Petri net and the parameters) is defined in an XML ï¬le, what allows us to generate results in batch mode. Besides, we describe a case study in which we optimize the frequency of the regular maintenance in a manufacturing process. more »

Such models can be solved using analytical or simulation techniques. Analytical techniques suffer from scalability issues, whereas simulation techniques often require very long simulation runs. Existing simulation techniques for QPNs are strictly sequential and cannot exploit the parallelism provided by modern multi-core processors. In this paper, we present an approach to parallel discrete-event simulation of QPNs using a conservative synchronization algorithm. We consider the spatial decomposition of QPNs as well as the lookahead calculation for different scheduling strategies. Additionally, we propose techniques to reduce the synchronization overhead when simulating performance models describing systems with open workloads. The approach is evaluated in three case studies using performance models of real-world software systems. We observe speedups between 1.9 and 2.5 for these case studies. We also assessed the maximum speedup that can be achieved with our approach using synthetic models. more »

We present the real hardware and software platform and our mapping of it to a virtual X-ray control unit, im- plemented as our hardware-software co-simulation. To re- duce complexity for hardware developers, we developed our own XML-based abstract system description language which is mapped onto instantiations of parameterizable SystemC template modules. We verified the correctness of our virtual X-ray control unit by co-simulating unmodified software to hardware components, which we implemented in our system description language from the specification of the real sys- tem. Due to reduced complexity of our virtual X-ray control unit, it can be used as a time and cost saving test platform for future hardware and software adaption cycles. more »

However, the industrial environment is dynamic and harsh usually, including extreme temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference and vibration, which proposed specific requirements to intelligent industrial systems under certain circumstances. All these highlight the criticality of the design, analysis and implementation of intelligent industrial systems more »
