Towards multi-level-simulation using dynamic cloud environments

The engineering of cyber physical systems requires holistic simulation perspectives. To cope with the complexity of these systems, we aim to provide a simulation methodology that is efficient regarding model complexity. The required holistic perspective is reached on a coarse level, which is co-simulated with multiple detailed models of some areas of the system that are of particular interest to the investigated phenomena. Which areas are thus “zoomed in” is dynamic during a simulation run. To reflect this, the resulting Multi-Level-Simulation is deployed in a dynamic cloud environment, using the provided hardware resources in a cost-efficient manner.
