Abstract:

The architecture is a key aspect of the design of any system including simulation systems. An architecture description should provide a formal specification of the architecture in terms of components and connectors and how they are composed together. Further, a simulation architecture description for safety critical system must provide a specification of how the architecture can satisfy safety and execution characteristics. This paper introduces the simulation architecture description language for hardware-in-loop simulation of safety critical systems (SCS-SADL) to support the real-time simulation of safety critical systems. SCSSADL is a graphical language with constructs and semantics defined to provide the user with the capability to define the simulation at various levels. A supporting toolset is proposed and provided the interface to SCS-SADL for the design simulation description. With a case study, SCS-SADL is illustrated its ability to represent the simulation of safety critical systems.
