Co-simulation framework for the Angel platform

The development of complex applications based on a large and heterogeneous set of networked embedded systems (NES) requires the availability of tools and methodologies for their simulation. In the past, a considerable research effort has been done to create specific tools for each design domain - software, hardware and network- but many issues have still to be addressed for their combined use in complex scenarios. This paper presents the co-simulation framework developed for the ANGEL platform. Advanced co-simulation techniques will be described together with their impact not only on validation but also on demonstration of project results.
