Control theory researchers have been using DEVS models to formalize discrete event systems for a long time. Despite such systems are one of the main targets of Software Engineers, the DEVS formalism lacks tools offering more credibility in DEVS models by enabling formal verification. This paper provides a way to exploit formal methods tools in doing such a job at reasonable cost. Our approach aims to transform automatically a DEVS model into a Z specification, a widely known specification language used by the formal methods researchers and practitioners, so Z proofs can be performed on the resulting specification.
