Realtime simulation software is required for the rapid and efficient development of complex embedded software systems such as engine controllers, especially to avoid expensive tests with the real hardware. But as any other software, realtime simulation software also needs to be developed and maintained. In this paper, we analyse the special requirements of realtime simulation software in regard to configuration management, discuss existing ideas and solutions in this research field, and propose a component- and change-based software configuration management approach as a first step for dedicated configuration management support.
