Model-based analysis of a windmill communication system

Abstract

This paper presents the experiences obtained from modeling and analyzing a real-world application of distributed embedded computing. The modeling language Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) has been applied to analyze the properties of a communication system in a windmill, which enables a group of embedded computers to share a group of variables. A CPN-based model of the system is used to analyze certain real-time properties of the system. © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
