Middleware-based distributed heterogeneous simulation

Abstract

In this paper we discuss an implementation of distributed heterogeneous simulation applications. The LabMap middleware is used as a vehicle for distribution and synchronization between simulating components. We present a simulation setup using two popular simulation tools: MATLAB/Simulink and LabVIEW. We show the feasibility and advantages of deployment of a middleware as an abstraction layer for simulation applications, in particular a smooth transition from simulation to hardware-in-the-loop setups and back.
