Abstract

Event Scheduling is by far the most commonly adopted worldview in Discrete Event Simulation (DES). Basic Event Scheduling modeling and simulation environments do not easily support modularity, hierarchy, and a clear separation of concerns between models and their simulators. DEVS provides clear constructs to design modular and hierarchical models expressed in a sound mathematical formalism. It thus can be of interest to transfer those features to any Event Scheduling modeling environment without having to redevelop the underlying simulation mechanisms. This paper discusses the adjunction of DEVS operational semantics to DSOL, a general purpose object-oriented simulation suite supporting the Event Scheduling worldview.
