Implementation-Oriented DEVS Conventions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The mathematical modeling conventions known collectively as the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) can be used to specify models of essentially any system that varies in time. But when DEVS is used for implementation, as opposed to specification, practical considerations such as convenience, efficiency, and repeatability motivate various changes to the original conventions. Here we discuss a selection of these changes found in existing DEVS-based software. We then provide a set of implementation-oriented DEVS conventions to guide the development of future simulation tools. The proposed conventions comply with DEVS principles by improving a user’s control over the timing of events, and supporting the encapsulation of a model’s state or composition.

A Faster Implementation of DEVS in the Joint MEASURE Simulation Environment
The University of Arizona definition and implementation of the DEVS framework is well known in the community of researchers that work on DEVS [1,2,6]. Not only does it provide an Object-Oriented implementation in C++ (and Java), but it also has a tight HLA connectivity (which was replaced by the HLA Interface developed at Lockheed Martin [4,5]). We present a faster and more efficient implementa...
متن کاملInformal DEVS Conventions Motivated by Practical Considerations
The formalism known as the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) provides a set of mathematical elements for modeling time-varying systems. When DEVS is applied in the form of an executable representation, however, some deviation from the formalism is unavoidable. By proposing a set of informal DEVS conventions, we show how certain changes to the formalism, some previously adopted, others ...

Using the models external message interface as the classification criterion lays emphasis on the fact that atomic and coupled DEVS models are modular and interchangable model components. Interface-Oriented Classification is a means to formalize the conditions of c...
