Proceedings of International Workshop on Engineering Simulations for Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Nowadays, simulative approaches are mandatory to analyze, design, evaluate, and to prepare real test-runs during the development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) like advanced driver assistant system or health-monitor equipment for example. Simulations enable riskless and resource-efficient experiments to validate system functions and product families. For example, complex simulations of sensors and the environment are required during the development and validation of self-driving vehicles to safely test the sensor data fusion and algorithms for situation-adaptive driving decisions. The models, which are utilized in these simulations, are continuously improved and enable in the foreseeable future complex analyses of the simulated system, its behavior, and its context.
