A model-based approach for prediction-based interconnection of dynamic systems

This paper proposes a model based coupling technique for interconnected systems. It helps to overcome problems arising whenever the interconnections have a non-negligible influence on the overall system behavior. The main idea of the method is to use prediction schemes which compensate for performance degradation due to coupling imperfections. Exemplarily the so-called co-simulation scenario is selected to demonstrate the principles of the presented approach and its effectiveness by means of a complex real-time application.
