1998: a Heterogeneous Simulation Framework Based on the Devs Bus and the High Level Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a heterogeneous simulation framework in which conventional simulation models and the DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) models can be interoperable. The framework conceptually consists of three layers: the model layer, the DEVS layer, and the HLA (High Level Architecture) layer. The model layer has a collection of heterogeneous simulation models, such as DEVS, CSIM, SLAM, and so on, to represent various aspects of a complex system. The DEVS layer provides a common framework, called the DEVS BUS, so that such simulation models can communicate with each other. Finally, the HLA layer is employed as a communication infrastructure, which supports several good features for distributed simulation. The DEVS BUS has been implemented on the HLA and a simple example of communicating two heterogeneous models has been developed to validate the DEVS BUS.

A Heterogeneous Distributed Simulation Framework Based on DEVS Formalism
This paper proposes a heterogeneous distributed simulation framework based on the DEVS formalism. A software bus called the DEVS bus is proposed, which virtually connects the DEVS models and conventional non-DEVS models developed by diierent simulation languages such as SIMAN, SLAM, SIMSCRIPT, and so on. For the DEVS bus protocol, the hierarchical simulation algorithm proposed by Zeigler is use...
متن کاملDEVS Framework and Toolkits for Simulators Interoperation Using HLA/RTI
The Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism is a framework which supports specification of discrete event models in a hierarchical, modular form. Associated with the formalism is a method which transforms a non-modular model to modular one. The method is a theoretical basis for the exchange of information between heterogeneous simulators which interoperate together. The High Level ...
متن کاملM&S within the Model Driven Architecture
Currently, standardized distributed simulation systems are likely to follow the High Level Architecture (HLA) standard, not only because it is widely adopted in the United States for DoD applications, but also because it can be seen as the most matured M&S standard in this domain. However, the HLA focuses on the implementation level; thus it cannot solve problems on the conceptual level, such a...
متن کاملA unifying framework for specifying DEVS parallel and distributed simulation architectures
DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) is an approach in the area of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) that provides a means of specifying dynamic systems. A variety of DEVS tools have been implemented without a standard developmental guideline across board consequently revealing a lack of central frameworks for integrating heterogeneous DEVS simulators. When implementing a DEVS Simulator there...
متن کاملSupply Chain Simulation in a Devs / Corba Execution Environment
The emerging electronic commerce and rapidly changing business environments place strong requirements on a next-generation supply-chain analyzer to simulate the flow of goods through the entire supply chain in a timely manner. Such requirements include scalable and efficient model execution and support for flexible future extensibility based on an open industry standard. This paper presents des...
