Cell-DEVS Modeling of Environmental Applications

Recently, different research teams used Cellular models for the analysis of environmental systems using Cellular models. Some of these techniques are based on Cellular Automata, which have some problems constraining its power, usability and feasibility for studying large complex systems. In other cases, the Cellular Automata have been combined with the DEVS (Discrete-Event Systems Specifications) formalism, which requires expertise in advanced programming techniques, visualization, distributed computing, etc. Instead, the Cell-DEVS formalism and the CD++ toolkit Cell-DEVS simplify the construction of complex cellular models by allowing simple and more intuitive model specification. We present the definition of different models, focusing on how to define such applications using Cell-DEVS methodology.
