Software-In-the-Loop Simulation(SILS) and Rapid Control Prototyping(RCP) are proposed as an integrated development environment to support the development process from system design to implementation. SILS is an environment used to simulate control systems with temporal behavior. RCP offers seamless phase shift from design to implementation based on automatic code generation. There are several toolsets that support control system design and analysis. A few of these tools generate the control software automatically. However, most of these design toolsets do not cover temporal behavior which appears after implementation. In earlier toolsets, the design and the implementation of a control system are considered as two separate processes which mean the conventional development process is not connected strictly. SILS/RCP environments work under an identical platform and use the same representation for system modeling. An integrated SILS/RCP environment makes it possible to design controllers under conditions similar to real execution during off-line simulation and to realize controllers in the early design phase. SILS/RCP environments integrate the design and implementation phases which reduce the time-to-market and provide greater performance-assured design. The establishment of SILS/RCP and the practical design approaches are presented.

This paper presents the Matlab/Simulink-based software-in-the-loop simulation(SILS) environment which is the co-simulator for temporal and functional simulations of control systems. The temporal behavior of a control system is strongly dependent on the implemented software and hardware such as the real-time operating system, the target CPU, and the communication protocol. The proposed SILS abstracts the system with tasks, task executions, real-time schedulers, and real-time networks close to the implementation. Methods to realize these components in graphical block representations are investigated with Matlab/Simulink, which is most commonly used tool for designing and simulating control algorithms in control engineering. In order to achieve a seamless development from SILS to rapid control prototyping (RCP), the SILS block-set is designed to support automatic code generation without tool changes and block modifications.

This paper introduces an integrated Modeling & Simulation framework for the efficient development of the rescue robot which rescues a wounded patients or soldiers and disposes a dangerous objects or explosive materials in the battlefields and disastrous environments. An integrated M&S(Modeling & Simulation) framework would have enabled us to perform the dynamic simulation program GAZEBO based Software-in-the-Loop Simulation(SILS) which is to replacing the robot platform hardware with a simulation software. An integrated M&S framework would help us to perform designing robot and performance validation of robot control results more efficiently. Furthermore, Tele-operation performance in the unstructured environments could be improved. We review a case study of applying an integrated M&S framework tool in validating performance of mobility stabilization control, one of the most important control strategy in the rescue robot.

The automotive market has recently been investing much time and costs in improving existing technologies such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and TCS (Traction Control System) and developing new technologies. Additionally, various methods have been applied and developed to reduce this. Among them, the development method using the simulation has been mainly used and developed. In this paper, we have studied a method to develop SILS (Software In the Loop Simulation) for TCS which can test various environment variables under the same conditions. We modeled hardware (vehicle engine and ABS module) and software (control logic) of TCS using MATLAB/Simulink and Carsim. Simulation was performed on the climate, road surface, driving course, etc. to verify the TCS logic. By using SILS to develop TCS control logic and controller, it is possible to verify before production and reduce the development period, manpower and investment costs.

With the increasing risk in building liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGC), pre-simulation of various scenarios is required for system integration and safe operation. In particular, the power management system (PMS) is an important part of the LNGC; it works in tight integration with the power control systems to achieve the desired performance and safety. To verify and improve unpredicted errors, we implemented a simulation model of power generation and consumption for testing PMS based on software-in-the-loop (SIL) method. To control and verify the PMS, numeric and physical simulation modeling was undertaken utilizing MATLAB/Simulink. In addition, the simulation model was verified with a load sharing test scenario for a sea trial. This simulation allows shipbuilders to participate in new value-added markets such as commissioning, installation, operation, and maintenance.

In this paper, the application of robust fuel gauge algorithm in the external environment to general fuel gauge system is proposed. The proposed fuel gauge system is composed of two modules which are Moving Average Filter (MAF) and Inclination Filter (IF). They are used to show correctly the amount of fuel in the external environment which are curve road, slope or acceleration/deceleration driving. In parallel, verification and validation processes using Software In the Loop Simulation (SILS) in personal computer and Hardware In the Loop Simulation (HILS) similar to actual vehicle environments are established. Through this research, it turned out to be possible to operation of gauge become correct of external environment.

This paper presents to develop a path planning algorithm combining gradient descent-based path planning (GBPP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for considering prohibited flight areas, terrain information, and characteristics of fixed-wing unmmaned aerial vehicle (UAV) in 3D space. Path can be generated fast using GBPP, but it is often happened that an unsafe path can be generated by converging to a local minimum depending on the initial path. Bio-inspired swarm intelligence algorithms, such as Genetic algorithm (GA) and PSO, can avoid the local minima problem by sampling several paths. However, if the number of optimal variable increases due to an increase in the number of UAVs and waypoints, it requires heavy computation time and efforts due to increasing the number of particles accordingly. To solve the disadvantages of the two algorithms, hierarchical path planning algorithm associated with hierarchical particle swarm optimization (HPSO) is developed by defining the initial path, which is the input of GBPP, as two variables including particles variables. Feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified by software-in-the-loop simulation (SILS) of flight control computer (FCC) for UAVs.
