Simulation-as-a-Service: a simulation platform for cyber-physical systems

摘要: With the increasing demand for embedded intelligence in many diverse areas of application, manufacturers are working on designing and developing Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that meet rapidly growing market. CPS require tight integration between virtual physical artifacts. Architectural evaluation is one way to overcome complexity this integration, yet it a challenging task. One possible approach help systems engineers software architects evaluate their design before implementing simulation. Simulation can reduce expensive prototypes by testing system under certain conditions would be too risky costly consider prototype. Nevertheless, existing commercial academic simulation platforms often domain-specific, amount manual effort, do not support straightforward coupling different components. This paper presents SaaS-based (Software-as-a-Service) platform aims solve these challenges. It enables easy abstraction components, composition complex architectural scenarios, architecture means The proposed web-based, graphical infrastructure. In paper, we present along with example based security aspect vehicle illustrate platform’s capabilities.
