Application of Multi-domain and Multi-language Cosimulation To an Optical MEM Switch Design
Abstract
This paper presents the applicability of a cosimulation methodology based on an object-oriented simulation environment, to multi-domain and multi-language systems design. This methodology starts with a system model given as a netlist of heterogeneous components and enables the systematic generation of simulation models for multi-domain and multi-language heterogeneous systems. For experiments, we used a complex multi-domain application: an optical MEM switch.
