Abstract

This paper presents the syntax and semantics of the DEVS-Driven Modeling Language (DDML), a simulation modeling formalism that combines visual modeling, discrete event simulation and formal analysis. The use of visual notations makes DDML highly communicable. Simulation and formal analysis are combined for verification, validation, and accreditation of models to ensure high integrity models. DDML is inspired by the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism as its operational semantics adopts the DEVS simulation protocol. We present the definition of the syntaxes and semantics of DDML using meta-modeling and graph transformation techniques.
