Calibration of deployment simulation models: a multi-paradigm modelling approach (original) (raw)

2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT In embedded systems development, software engineers increasingly rely on modelling and simulation to produce optimal design solutions. A bottleneck in the Modelling and Simulation Based Design (MSBD) process is model calibration. Setting up experiments to estimate parameter values such that the model accurately reflects real-world system structure and behaviour is technically complex and labour intensive. Parameters to be estimated are for example effective processor speed, memory consumption and network throughput of the hardware platform on which software is deployed. In this paper we show how Multi-Paradigm Modelling (MPM) allows for the synthesis of a model calibration infrastructure. This includes the synthesis, from a model, of a simulator for the "environment" in which a system-to-be built will operate. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we calibrate the model of an automotive power window controller running on the AUTOSAR-platform.
