Obtaining an SDL entity identifier using SDL/SystemC co-modeling

This paper describes a technical problem of obtaining a unique SDL entity identifier using SDL/SystemC co-modeling. The problem occurs during scientific research in co-modeling field as well as work under real projects. Solution consists in redefinition the standard function of SDL simulation kernel for getting access to entity name and then conversion its name to a unique identifier. The paper explains the situation where problem appears, demonstrates its application using SDL/SystemC co-simulation and describes in practice a solution that fully solved the problem and makes possible further research.
