Bi-directional projection

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a processing device, cause the at least one processor to receive a specification, in a platform environment, from an algorithm environment,
• the specification being used to test one or more algorithms that are each associated with an operation of a control system,
• the control system being at least partially implemented in hardware,
• each algorithm receiving an input from a particular component, of a plurality of components, of the control system,
• the algorithm environment being a design environment,
• the platform environment being a deployment environment, and
• the platform environment being used to model the plurality of components and one or more operations of the control system;
• one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to identify a system component in the platform environment;
• one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to provide information, in the specification, to the system component via an algorithm component,
• the algorithm component representing aspects of an algorithm model in a system model;
• one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to receive a change request from the platform environment;
• one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to receive a modified specification from the algorithm environment,
• the modified specification being produced based on the change request, the modified specification allowing the algorithm component to communicate with the system model;
• and
• one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to store at least one:
• information about the algorithm environment,
• information about the platform environment,
• information about the algorithm model,
• information about the system model,
• information about the algorithm,
• information about the specification,
• information about the modified specification,
• information about the algorithm component,
• information about the system component, or
• information about an adapter associated with the system component.
