Bus simulation apparatus and bus simulation program

A bus simulation apparatus for simulating a bus connecting a plurality of devices, said bus simulation apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of simulated bus slot application interfaces each configured to prepare a receive task in response to a call from a simulated device, said simulated device corresponding to each of the plurality of the devices, said receive task obtaining a communication handle for an application name of the simulated device;
• a communication handle management table configured to relate the communication handle to the application name;
• and
• a simulated bus manager configured to, in response to a request for data transfer between the simulated devices along with the application name, send data to the receive task of destination using the communication handle obtained by searching the communication handle management table based on the received application name.
