Modeling and Simulation of Embedded-Computing Systems in Ptolemy
Zhang Li · Acta Simulata Systematica Sinica · 2004
Embedded systems are usually composed of subsystems with very different characteristics. Their heterogeneity puts high demands on design and simulation tools. The paper discusses the shortage of the current modeling and simulation platforms, introduces how Ptolemy addresses the problem by hierarchical heterogeneity, and describes the design principles implemented in the Ptolemy II software. At last, a complicated control system is modeled and simulated based on Ptolemy II.
