Modeling and simulation of processors and networks for smart Navy aircraft components and systems

Researchers in the HCS Research Lab are developing a variety of network and processor models to support the simulation of smart Navy aircraft components/systems (SNACS) using a coarse-grain, discrete-event, system modeling and simulation tool from NuThena Systems Inc. called Foresight. Foresight is being extended to develop a coarse-grain functional analysis system to portray the behavior of smart systems rapidly and accurately in various environments, and to extract performance and dependability measures from these systems. This paper summarizes on-going research and development efforts to date involving the design, modeling, and simulation of processors, networks, and embedded computer systems for smart aircraft components and systems.
