Enabling Smart System design with the SMAC Platform

Complex “smart” devices made of heterogeneous components and incorporating functions of sensing, actuation and control are increasingly requested, but, for the development of next generation systems, new techniques are required for managing the increasing design complexity. The SMAC Project aims at developing a common solution for Smart System design where cross-sectional flows converge into a common Platform, based on (co-)simulation and model abstraction methodologies. This paper describes the main requirements and features of the SMAC Platform and two industrial case studies.
