CORBA communication backplane for design and verification

This paper presents a novel object based communication strategy to interconnect design tools and system components operating at various abstraction levels to produce a consistent and coherent system. Interconnects are generated from interface models. This platform can be used to prototype, validate, simulate and/or test the complex systems interactions before all the components are built and integrated. Results show a 20% increase in communication overhead compared to MathWorks Link for ModelSim while providing a generic solution over the tightly coupled offering from MathWorks.
