The DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) formalism supports specification of discrete event models in a hierarchical modular manner. MATLAB/Simulink is widely used for modeling, simulating and analyzing continuous and discrete time systems. This paper proposes a realization of the DEVS formalism in MATLAB/ Simulink. The proposed design enables to use a great amount of mathematical packages and functions included in MATLAB /Simulink. The design is also employed as real time simulation and hybrid system simulation which is a mixture of continuous systems and discrete event systems. The paper introduces Simulink-DEVS model, in which a simulation algorithm is embedded. The model consists of a Simulink-atomic model and a Simulink-coupled model. In addition, the time advance algorithm to simulate the model is suggested. The algorithm handles the time synchronization and the accommodation of different concepts specific to continuous and discrete event models. Two experimental results are presented for a pure discrete event model and a hybrid model.

In this paper, we propose a heterogenous mission allocation technique for multi-UAV system based on discrete event modeling. We model a series of heterogenous mission creation, mission allocation, UAV departure, mission completion, and UAV maintenance and repair process as a mathematical discrete event model. Based on the proposed model, we then optimize the number of UAVs required to operate in a given scenario. To validate the optimized number of UAVs, the simulations are executed repeatedly, and their results are analyzed. The proposed mission allocation technique can be used to efficiently utilize limited UAV resources, and allow the human operator to establish an optimal mission plan.

본 연구에서는 대용량의 데이터를 고속으로 입출력할 수 있는 데이터 저장 시스템 이 가져야할 요구사항을 분석하고, 그것을 만족하는 시스템을 설계하였다. 본 논문에서는 우선 고속 대용량, 랜덤 억세스의 조건을 만족시키기 위해 여러 대의 하드 디스크를 병렬로 연결하여 입력되는 데이터들을 나누어 저장하도록 하였다. 그러나 하드 디스크의 성능은 디 스크 아암의 탐색동작에 의해 크게 영향을 받으므로 실시간 요구 조건을 만족시키기 위해선 단순히 디스크의 수를 늘이는 것 외에 디스크 아암의 탐색 동작을 효율적으로 제어할 수 있 는 방법이 필요하다. 그래서 본 논문에서 설계된 시스템에서는 시스템을 MCU(Master Control Unit), DDU(Data Distribution Unit), SCU(Slave Control Unit), DSU(Data Storage Unit)의 4부분으로 나누고, 각 디스크의 디스크 아암 탐색 동작을 독립된 SCU에서 제어하 도록 하였다. 설계된 내용이 주어진 요구사항들을 만족하는 것을 확인하기 위해, 본 논문에 서는 이산사건 시스템을 기술하는 수학적인 언어인 DEVS 형식론을 이용하여 제안된 시스 템을 기술하고 시뮬레이션하였다. 그리고 시뮬레이션되는 과정에서 생산되는 사건들의 궤적 을 분석하였다. 분석결과 제안된 시스템은 앞에서 제시한 여러 요구사항들을 잘 수용함을 보았다.

As the technology of information and communication has developed over recent years, an embedded system is applied in multiple industries and becomes more complicated. For this reason, embedded system development cost and time are also increased. For decreasing the cost and time, this paper suggests requirement evaluation method for concurrent development of an embedded system based on Discrete Event System(DEVS) Formalism. This paper proposes a method of describing the requirements specification in the form of DEVS atomic model. Also, the paper proposes the evaluator model that compares evaluation target system and the requirements model that is an implementation of requirement specification and proposes the evaluation method using them. In addition, we propose a method to utilize the requirement model created for requirements evaluation in the concurrent development process of the embedded system. As the case study, this paper proceeds requirement evaluation of Kinect depth data processing system.

Discrete event system specification (DEVS) has been used in many simulations including hybrid systems featuring both discrete and continuous behavior that require a lot of time to get results. Therefore, in this study, we proposed the acceleration of a DEVS-based hybrid system simulation using multi-cores and GPUs tightly coupled computing. We analyzed the proposed heterogeneous computing of the simulation in terms of the configuration of the target device, changing simulation parameters, and power consumption for efficient simulation. The result revealed that the proposed architecture offers an advantage for high-performance simulation in terms of execution time, although more power consumption is required. With these results, we discovered that our approach is applicable in hybrid system simulation, and we demonstrated the possibility of optimized hardware distribution in terms of power consumption versus execution time via experiments in the proposed architecture.

This paper deals with modeling method and application of Fuzzy Discrete Event System(FDES). FDES have characteristics which Crisp Discrete Event System(CDES) can't deals with and is constituted with the events that is determined by vague and uncertain judgement like biomedical or traffic control. In general, the modeling method of CDES has been studied many times, but that of FDES hasn't been nearly studied by qualitative character and scarcity of applicated system. This paper models traffic system with FDES's character in FTTPN and designs a traffic signal controller.

Modeling and Simulation, especially in mobile ad hoc network(MANET), are the most effective way to analyze performance or optimize system parameters without establishing real network environment. Focusing mainly on overall network behaviors in MANET concerns dynamics of network transport operations, which can efficiently be characterized with event based system states rather than execution details of protocols. We thus consider the network as a discrete event system to analyze dynamics of network transport performance. Zeigler's set-theoretic DEVS(Discrete Event Systems Specification) formalism can support specification of a discrete event system in hierarchical, modular manner. The DEVSim++ simulation environment can not only provide a rigorous modeling methodology based on the DEVS formalism but also support modelers to develop discrete event models using the hierarchical composition methodology in object-orientation. This environment however hardly supports to specify connection paths of network nodes, which are continuously altered due to mobility of nodes. This paper proposes a DEVS-based modeling and simulation methodology of enabling node mobility, and develops DEVS models for the mobile ad hoc network. We also simulate developed models with the DEVSim++ engine to verify the proposal.
