Abstract
Situational Aware (SiA) Cyber-physical systems (CPS) harmoniously integrate computational and physical components to being aware of what is happening in the surroundings and using this information to decide and act. Architecture description of SiA-CPS can be a valuable tool to reason about the selected solutions, and to enable code generation and simulation. This paper presents an architecture framework that automatically generates from a SiA-CPS architecture description, an executable code used to simulate the architecture model and evaluate it in terms of data traffic load, battery level and energy consumptions. The framework makes use of a model transformation approach where, three SiA-CPS domain-specific modeling views are automatically transformed into the input language of CupCarbon, an open source tool supporting the simulation of sensor network architectures.
