DynamicTMN® CMIP Agent Simulator

Java CMIP Agent Simulator

  

The CMIP Agent Simulator is a generic Java-based CMIP agent simulator for use in the development and verification of CMIP manager applications. During application development and testing, it is often very difficult to obtain access to an actual CMIP device or 3rd party agent test system for extended periods of time. This can greatly impact delivery and deployment schedules. The CMIP Agent Simulator can help you alleviate this problem by providing a dedicated simulation environment for use by your development and verification teams.
