The increasing demand for wireless cyber-physical systems (CPS) requires correct design, implementation and validation of computation, communication and control methods. Traditional simulation tools, which focus on either computation, communication or control, are insufficient when the three aspects interact. Efforts to extend the traditional tools to cover multiple domains, e.g., from simulating only control aspects to simulating both control and communication, often rely on simplistic models of a small subset of possible communication solutions.
We developed GISOO, a virtual testbed for simulation of wireless cyber-physical systems that integrates two state-of-the art simulators, Simulink and COOJA. GISOO enables users to evaluate actual embedded code for the wireless nodes in realistic cyber-physical experiments, observing the effects of both the control and communication components. In this way, a wide range of communication solutions can be evaluated without developing abstract models of their control-relevant aspects, and changes made to the networking code in simulations is guaranteed to be translated into production code without errors.
Here you can find GISOO's code, examples and all related documentation.
GISOO's examples are currently developed for TinyOS and telosb, tmote sky or CM5000 nodes, which all have an MSP430 uC and a CC2420 radio. However, through COOJA, GISOO can support many other platforms. GISOO also supports the most popular wireless sensor networks operating systems: TinyOS and Contiki OS.
As a current limitation, GISOO only works with Contiki 2.6. We have also only validated this framework in Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 7 and Matlab 2013.
