This thesis describes distributed simulation of MIL-STD-1553B Serial Data Bus interface
and protocol based on the Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware standard. The
data bus connects avionics system components and transports information among them in
an aircraft. It is important for system designers to be able to evaluate and verify their
component interfaces at the design phase. The 1553 serial data bus requires specialized
hardware and wiring to operate, thus it is expensive and complex to verify component
interfaces. Therefore modeling the bus on commonly available hardware and networking
infrastructure is desirable for evaluation and verification of component interfaces. The DDS
middleware provides publish-subscribe based communications with a number of QoS (Quality
Of Service) attributes. DDS makes it easy to implement distributed systems by providing an
abstraction layer over the networking interfaces of the operating systems. This thesis takes
the advantage of the DDS middleware to implement a 1553 serial data bus simulation tool. In
addition, the tool provides XML based interfaces and scenario definition capabilities, which
enable easy and quick testing and validation of component interfaces. Verification of the tool
was performed over a case study using a scenario based on the MIL-STD-1760 standard.
