Метод автоматического формирования телекоммуникационных модулей структурных элементов автоматизированных систем на основе XML-описания

Abstract

Introduction: During the design, development and operation of complex automated systems, including military ones, certain problems often arise when the elements of a complex system are split into two groups. One part is represented by real hardware, and the missing part should be reproduced by simulation. Purpose: We develop a method to automatically generate telecommunication modules which simulate the missing informational links between the structural elements of automated systems, flexibly configurable depending on the application and the data exchange format. Results: A method is proposed for the simulation of informational links between structural elements. The structure of a unified simulation software units is discussed. The common modules are specified which take part in the communication and data input/output. The requirements are formulated for the XML unified description of the information exchange. The algorithms for processing the input and output data are developed, based on the recursive implementation of the processing operations in accordance with the description format. General charts are provided for data reception and processing. The software was made in Borland Developer Studio IDE using C++ language. Practical relevance: The developed method can be used to simulate missing informational links of automated systems in the course of testing the main-purpose efficiency or commissioning work, as well as in cases when it is necessary to obtain extreme or difficult to combine values of individual characteristics of an automated system or its components.
