ABSTRACT
This paper presents the Networked Control Systems Windtunnel (NCSWT), an integrated modeling and simulation tool for the evaluation of networked control systems (NCS). NCSWT integrates Matlab/Simulink and ns-2 using the High Level Architecture (HLA). Our implementation of the NCSWT based on HLA guarantees accurate time synchronization and data communication in heterogenous simulations. NCSWT uses the Model Integrated Computing (MIC) techniques to define HLA-based model constructs such as federates representing the simulators and interactions between the simulators. NCSWT also uses MIC techniques to define models representing the control system and network dynamics for the rapid synthesis of simulations.
