C.: Model-Based Integration Platform for FMI Co-Simulation and Heterogeneous Simulations of Cyber-Physical Systems

Virtual evaluation of complex Cyber-Physical Sys-tems (CPS) with a number of tightly integrated do-mains such as physical, mechanical, electrical, ther-mal, cyber, etc. demand the use of heterogeneous simulation environments. Our previous effort with C2 Wind Tunnel (C2WT) attempted to solve the challenges of evaluating these complex systems as-a-whole, by integrating multiple simulation platforms with varying semantics and integrating and manag-ing different simulation models and their interac-tions. Recently, a great interest has developed to use Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) for a variety of dynamics simulation packages, particularly in Com-mercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools. Leveraging th
