Abstract

In this paper, we present a methodology for modeling real–time systems using high level specification DECM (discrete event calculus model) and DEVS formalisms. In this methodology, the control system is specified by the way of a DECM user language description. This formal specification is automatically transformed into an atomic DEVS (discrete event system specification) model, and DEVS simulation of the coupled models (control system and plant) is used to validate the initial DECM specifications. The paper discusses the building of DECM specifications, the transformation of DECM specifications into a DEVS model and the simulation of the coupled DEVS model.
