Abstract

Distributed embedded systems are becoming ubiquitous and increasingly complex. It is frequently assumed that the use of simulation can support the design and implementation of such systems. However the contribution made by simulation towards the development process is rarely explored in depth and is incompletely understood. The pilot study described in this paper was intended to help identify techniques which may be used to provide a quantitative assessment of the contribution which simulation makes in this area. The study involved the observation of the “simulation first” development of a distributed embedded system. The results obtained in the study are described, and will form the basis for future investigations in this important area.
