Study on Abstraction Modeling of a Networked Senor System in a Multiple-Language Environment

Abstract:

Developing highly efficient and reliable embedded system demands hardware/software co-design. To be high-configurable embedded systems, designers seek for transaction-level modeling and component based development. Our approach employ platform-based design and component-based design and apply it to a networked sensor system. We introduce a multiple-language environment unified component-based model and apply it to co-simulation of sensor system instances. The case studies demonstrate that our approach is readily applicable to real-world networked sensor systems and reduces the co-simulation complexities.
