Although there have been considerable amount of research activities in simulation community the current simulation tools are not sufficiently capable to support such a cooperation between components working in real-time and simulation-time. In this paper we propose a new approach for constructing hybrid simulations that leverages usage of simulation systems. We introduce HeteroSim a Java-based simulation system that can execute discrete event simulations by employing both simulation and real world software entities. This model is applicable to many software related areas such as scenario-based software testing and development of simulators. As a case study we are able to rely on this model in order to build simulations combining both the simulated elements of a High Performance Computing (HPC) system and already implemented elements of our Policy Based Management (PBM) framework so-called POLICE [1][2]. In this manner it may be possible to study the efficiency of POLICE on management of HPC systems.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiscrete event simulationHeterogeneous simulationHeterosimPolicy based management systemsConference Object2-s2.0-85024840683N/AN/A
