Dynamic communication models in embedded system co-simulation

Many co-simulation techniques either suffer from poor performancewhen simulating communications intensive systems, or theyrepresent communications with a uniformly low level of detail.This paper presents a technique which allows communication tobe represented at multiple levels of detail and which gives a designerthe ability to dynamically choose the appropriate level fordifferent parts of the system. This paper also presents a tool whichuses this technique and experiments which show relative simulationspeedups.
