An Integrated Modeling and Simulation Methodology for Intelligent Systems Design and Testing

摘要

Model continuity refers to the ability to use the same model of a system throughout its design phases. For intelligent systems, we can restrict such continuity to the intelligent control components, and more specifically, the models that implement the system's decision making. behavior. In this paper, we show how a modeling and simulation environment, based on the DEVS formalism,, can support model continuity in the design of intelligent systems. For robotic systems, such continuity allows design and testing of the same control logic model through the phases including logical simulation, real-time simulation and actual execution.
