Abstract

This paper describes MTSim, an extensible, customizable simulation platform for the Modechart Toolset (MT). MTSim provides support for ``plugging in'' of user-defined viewers which display simulation behavior in different ways including application-specific displays. In addition, MTSim supports full user participation in the generation of simulations through the injection of events into the execution trace. Moreover, MTSim supports monitoring and assertion-checking of execution traces, invoking user-specified handlers upon assertion violation. This paper also introduces WebSim, a web-centric suite of simulation tools for MT, on top of the MTSim platform. It also describes a application-specific interface built on MTSim which represents the cockpit of an F-18 aircraft and models its bomb-releasemechanism.
