近年來,由於無線感測網路和嵌入式系統隨著科技穩定的發展,人們開始重視一個更廣泛的智慧整合感控系統。不同於傳統的嵌入式系統,智慧整合感控系統是一個結合電腦運算領域以及感測器和致動器裝置的系統。由於電腦運算和感測、致動器裝置系統本質上的差異,造成人們很難用單一的工具去模擬智慧整合感控系統的行為。 因此,本論文提供一個可以用來模擬智慧整合感控系統的整合架構。透過此整合架構,使用者可以輕易地模擬智慧整合感控系統的服務。為了完整地模擬智慧整合感控系統,此整合架構必須支援模擬異質的感測器及致動器裝置,並且具有延展性。此外,針對不同模擬模型和需求的模擬器,此模擬架構需提供同步機制以同步這些不同的模擬器。
With steady technological advances over the years in wireless sensor network and embedded system, people now witness the emergence of a broader spectrum of cyber-physical systems. Unlike traditional embedded systems, the emphasis of cyber-physical systems tends to be more on the integration and cooperation between cyber and physical components. However, fundamental differences exist between the characteristics of cyber and physical components, thus it is much more complicated to use a single simulation tool to represent their behavior. Therefore, we aim to provide an integrated framework for simulation of such cyber-physical systems and services to reduce development overhead. In order to simulate the cyber-physical systems and services, the framework should be able to support the simulation environment of heterogeneous sensors and actuators, and tackle the scalability issue. Furthermore, the most critical issue is how to synchronize these simulators with different simulation models and requirements.
