Abstract :
Control computer systems for automatic logistic systems contain reactive modules, which are usually tested on-site, in conjunction with the real environment. This leads to high test costs and unsatisfactory test coverage. Environment simulation models offer an execution environment for customizable, in-house testing. A process model and architecture for the generation of domain specific environment models based on a cosimulation environment is presented
