Abstract

A hybrid simulation may consist of a mix of computational simulations and physical simulations (experiments), and there are some cases in which it may be desirable to replace a physical simulation with a computational one (eg, during a “dry run”, or in the event that one site in a multi-site simulation experiences difficulties). For this reason, the same protocol should support both physical and computational simulations.
Different sites may choose different limitations on what operations are permitted during a physical simulation (eg, maximum amounts of force to apply via an actuator), and it’s generally not possible to “undo” an operation in a physical simulation. For this reason, the protocol should support negotiation of parameters at each site before any action is taken.
