“…In the SIM-ULTAAN project, a component architecture is proposed for simulator development based on HLA. [19][20][21][22] The runtime communication infrastructure of SIMULTAAN provides not only communication between simulation components by utilizing RTI, but also extends RTI with a time-triggered (real-time) scheduling mechanism based on a synchronized wall clock.…”

DLR's Air Vehicle Simulator (AVES) is designed such that interchangeable cockpits of an EC135 rotorcraft and an A320 airplane can be operated either on a motion or on a fixedbase platform. While the EC135 and the A320 simulators are usually deployed standalone, there are emerging requirements to conduct simulator experiments that both simulators are involved in. Further demands include adding a traffic server for computer generated aircraft and a tower simulator to the simulation facility. To tackle the challenge of developing a complex distributed network simulation, the High Level Architecture (HLA) and AviationSimNet are selected as the underlying standards. As the AVES is a flight simulation facility with hard real-time constraints, the chosen HLA implementation, which is CERTI from ONERA, has to fulfill the deterministic processing and data exchange requirements. CERTI had to be ported to the AVES's real-time operating system QNX, and integrated into the core software infrastructure, the AVES Software Development Kit. To prove the usability of the real-time implementation, the worst case transfer times are measured for typical scenarios in order to validate the solution. Finally, a full scale implementation is carried out in AVES.

CPS (cyber-physical systems) which consists of connected and diverse embedded systems and physical systems are a new paradigm. Traditional systems were usually considered to be passive and dumb parts in physical systems, but with CPS, we have to take into account what are being moved or changed in the physical systems. So, as increasing the complexity of CPS, potential errors in the systems also increase. In this paper, for enhancing the reliability of CPS, we exploit an executable-model-based design methodology and propose a distributed simulation method to verify the design of CPS. For the design of the systems including discrete and continuous factors, we apply DEV&DESS formalism and simulate models in distributed simulation environments through DDS middleware. We also illustrate the applications of CPS with our modeling tool.

“…But, unfortunately, the HLA wasn't designed to provide the speed and detailed control of real-time performance required by flight simulator that need consistently low latencies [3]. However, there is another middleware standard that provides a much better fit for the real-time requirements of flight simulator.…”

The real-time distributed computing environment and reusable software architecture are important factors that affect the fidelity of flight simulation. We accomplished a flight simulator based on DDS (Data Distribution Service for Real-time Systems) middleware and structural software architecture and proved its high fidelity as a flight training device. According to the analysis of flight simulator's functional blocks, we developed the real-time distributed computing environment which utilized DDS middleware through Ethernet and decreased the communication latency among functional blocks. Furthermore, we proposed the structural software architecture on the basis of layered and component-based design pattern to facilitate the higher simulation components' reuse and replacement. The real-time communication procedures among simulation components are also described in this paper. The validation method and the contrasting simulation results are presented finally to show the feasible design based on DDS to carry out flight simulation with low communication latency and high quality.
