Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3593))

Abstract

In this paper we propose a hybrid physical/simulation environment for benchmarking real-time distributed control systems. This environment uses Arena® Real Time for simulation and the Java-based TINI platform for real-time control. The paper focuses on the development of a software design pattern for client-server communication.
