 The design of embedded systems is currently an increasing complex problem. These systems tend to become heterogeneous in the sense that they require the integration of components described by means of different physical/engineering disciplines, for example, electrical, optical, thermal, mechanical, chemical, or biological. Besides, these disciplines can be described under different time domains, for example, Discrete Event (DE), Discrete Time (DT), or Continuous Time (CT). To address this problem, designers require modeling and simulation tools to describe the system's components under different time domains and synchronize them in the same simulation environment.
 
-We explore the possibilities of modeling, simulating and synchronizing multi-disciplinary systems in the same environment, using as reference the SystemC Analog and Mixed - Signal (AMS) simulation standard. We analyze the method introduced in SystemC-AMS for synchronizing the DE and DT domains, and we identify its drawbacks. Besides, we introduce a new formalization of the synchronization problem, which is used to detect issues in a model before simulation.

 We propose a simulator prototype called SystemC Multi-Disciplinary Virtual Prototyping (MDVP), which is implemented as an extension of SystemC. It allows the modeling, and the generic hierarchical elaboration and simulation of multi-disciplinary systems, by means of different Models of Computation (MoCs). To build the MDVP simulator, we introduce a synchronization principle to  handle interactions between MoCs.
