Books and Framework
Books on DEVS M&S Theory and Framework
Theory of Modeling and Simulation: System Computational Foundations
Value-based Learning Healthcare Systems: Integrative Modeling and Simulation
Guide to Modeling and Simulation of Systems of Systems (Simulation Foundations, Methods and Applications)
Modeling & Simulation-Based Data Engineering: Introducing Pragmatics into Ontologies for Net-Centric Information Exchange
Building Software for Simulation: Theory and Algorithms, with Applications in C++
DEVS Systems-based Simulation is applicable to wide spectrum complex systems
Theoretical – supporting application
Closure under coupling, universality, uniqueness, relation to other formalisms
Hierarchical Model Construction supports complex system development
Supports the correctness of the algorithms and validation of the executing models, e.g., time management is rigorously defined
Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism extends beyond discrete-event world to continuous characteristics of system (Hybrid-DEVS)
In Application
Models, Simulators and Experimental Frames are distinct entities with their own software representations
Precise and well-defined mathematical representation
Models/Experiments are developed systematically for interoperability
Repositories of models/experiments created and maintained systematically
Components can be easily reused for constructing new models
Discrete-event basis improves performance (e.g. no need for a global clock to control timing)
DEVS software can be deployed on distributed computing environments and interact with heterogeneous M&S system.
