An approach to end-to-end system simulation

We describe an end-to-end system simulation approach which employs UNIX programming, shared memory and semaphores for interprocess communication (IPC), and SES/workbench [4] as a modeling and simulation environment. We illustrate it with a rather simplified K9 defense system (K9DS). We also provide the C code segments effecting the communication among the processes of the K9DS simulation, which runs on a workstation with a single CPU.
