Workflow 관리 시스템은 비즈니스 프로세스의 자동화를 지원하는 것으로서, 비즈니스 프로세스의 각 업무 단계에 관련된 인적 자원 및 IT자원을 적절히 활용하도록 구현되어야 한다. 이러한 Workflow 관리 시스템은 Workflow 프로세스에 대한 명세로부터 실행 모델이 구성되어 Workflow 엔진을 통해 수행되는 과정을 거친다. 한편, 명세된 프로세스의 논리적 검증과 성능 예측을 위하여는 Workflow 의 수행 전에 시뮬레이션을 통한 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기술된 Workflow 프로세스 명세로부터 이산사건 시스템 형식론인 DEVS를 기반으로 통일된 실행모델을 생성하고, 이를 바탕으로 시뮬레이션 분석과 실시간 수행을 하는 시뮬레이션 엔진과 실시간 분산수행 엔진을 각각 개발하였다. 간단한 업무 프로세스의 예를 통하여 분산환경에서 실행함으로써 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검증할 수 있었다.

Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) has been used for decades as it provides sound semantics for hierarchical modular specification of discrete event systems. Instead of the mathematical specification, the DEVS diagram, based on the structured DEVS formalism, has provided more intuitive and convenient representation of complex DEVS models. This paper proposes a clean room process for implementation and verification of a DEVS diagram model specification into a simulation software source code. Specifically, it underlies a sequence of transformation steps from conformance and integrity checking of a given diagram model, translation into a corresponding tabular model, and finally conversion to a simulation source code, with each step being inversely verifiable for traceability. A simple example helps developers to understand the proposed process with associated transformation methods; a case study shows that the proposed process is effective for and adaptable to practical simulation software development.

최근 기업활동의 일부로서 물류의 중요성이 급속히 부각되고 있고, 물류의 전략 개발과 모델링 방면에서 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 이산 사건 시스템을 기술하는 언어인 DEVS 형식론을 이용하여 물류 시스템의 성능을 측정하는 시뮬레이터를 구현한다. 본 논문의 대상 시스템은 다수의 차량을 이용하여 다수의 창고에서 다종의 물건들을 다수의 판매처로 운송하는 시스템이다. 각각의 창고에서는 판매처에서 요구한 물건들을 적재하여 판매처에서는 원하는 물건들을 하차하고 정해진 시간 내에 배달되는지를 검증한다. 모델링된 시스템을 시뮬레이션화하기 위해 DEVSim++를 이용한다. DEVSim++는 DEVS 형식론을 C++ 언어로 표현한 것이다. 여러 가상의 데이터로 시뮬레이션한 결과 적절히 동작하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 모델을 확장해서 전국적인 규모에서 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 무류 시뮬레이터를 구현하면 물류 관련 업무에서 필수적으로 쓰일 도구가 될 것이다.

This paper proposes automatic precision approach radar (PAR) control system using digital signal to increase the safety of aircraft, and discrete event systems specification (DEVS) methodology is utilized to verify the proposed system. Traditionally, a landing aircraft is controlled by the human voice of a final approach controller. However, the voice information can be missed during transmission, and pilots may also act improperly because of incorrectness of auditory signals. The proposed system enables the stable operation of the aircraft, regardless of the pilot's capability. Communicating DEVS (C-DEVS) is used to analyze and verify the behavior of the proposed system. A composed C-DEVS atomic model has overall composed discrete state sets of models, and the state sequence acquired through full state search is utilized to verify the safeness and the liveness of a system behavior. The C-DEVS model of the proposed system shows the same behavior with the traditional PAR control system.

시뮬레이션 방법론에 있어서 모델기반 시뮬레이션과 프로세스기반 시뮬레이션으로 나눌 수 있는데, 재사용성, 확장성, 시뮬레이터 기술 용이성 등의 장점으로 모델기반 시뮬레이션이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 근래에는 컴퓨터 시스템, 항공, 자동차 등에서 모델 기반 시뮬레이션 방법이 사용되고 있다. 모델기반 시뮬레이션 방법으로 수학적 이론을 기반으로 모델을 정의하는 DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification) 형식론은 계층적이고 모듈화 된 형태로 이산사건 시스템을 기술한다. 대규모의 복잡한 시뮬레이션 모델을 검증 할 목적으로 분산 시뮬레이션 방법론이 있는데, 이들은 크게 동기적인 방법과 비동기적인 방법이 있다. 동기적 방식보다 빠른 수행을 위해 비동기적 방법은 전체 Time-order 순이 아닌 로컬 Time-order를 가진다. 그러나 비동기적 방식에는 분산된 시뮬레이터들 간의 전체 Time-order를 유지하기 위해 전 처리된 시뮬레이터 결과들을 저장하는데, Time-order 상으로 현재의 시뮬레이션 시간보다 과거의 사건이 왔을 때 그 이벤트를 처리해주어야 되기 때문이다. 이러한 비동기적 분산 시뮬레이션 방법론에서는 전체 Time-order를 유지하기 위해 과거의 Time-order를 가지는 이벤트가 왔을 때 rollback operation을 수행한다. 그러나 rollback operation은 분산 시뮬레이션 방법론에서 성능 장애요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 rollback operation을 최소할 할 수 있는 DEVS 모델 분배 방법을 제안한다.

This paper adopts the system configuration to assess the reliability instead of making a fault tree (FT), which is a traditional method to analyze reliability of a certain system; this is the reliability block diagram (RBD) method. The RBD method is a graphical presentation of a system diagram connecting the subsystems of components according to their functions or reliability relationships. The equipment model for the reliability simulation is modeled based on the discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism. In order to make various alternatives of target system, this paper also adopts the system entity structure (SES), an ontological framework that hierarchically represents the elements of a system and their relationships. To enhance the calculation time of reliability analysis, GPU-based accelerations are adopted to the reliability simulation.

In order to cope with the changes of container terminal situation in these days, many simulation studies for container terminal have been accomplished. But previous simulation studies using simulation language have limitations in model representation and difficulties in modeling of large scaled container terminal system. To make these problems better, this paper addresses an object-oriented simulation of container terminal system using a DEVS formalism. The DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification) formalism, developed by Zeigler, supports specification of discrete event system in a hierarchical and modular manner. The formalism provides a mathematical basis for studying discrete event systems with better understood and sounder semantics. In a step of system modeling, a DEVS formalism aims at the exact system modeling that has a basis of semantics and utilizing the object-oriented manner can flexibly cope with the changes of system environment. In this study a model is developed and verified through the simulation of some alternatives.

A hybrid system is a combination of sub systems which have different types of state and time: a typical example is a combination of discrete event and continuous systems. A HDEVS(Hybrid DEVS) formalism was proposed for modeling and analyzing a hybrid system. The HDEVS formalism allows modelers to construct a hierarchical and modular model based on the mathematical set theory. Because the HDEVS formalism was applied to the distributed and interoperated simulators, modelers should make several heterogenous models dividing a target system. Hence, this paper proposes an extended hybrid coupled model of HDEVS formalism and an integrated hybrid modeling methodology in contrast to the existing simulation framework on interoperable simulators. By applying the proposed modeling method, a target system can be translated to a hybrid model in a similar form as the target system. This paper also contains a simulation engine design for the proposed modeling methodlogy and a case study which simulates water tank control systems.

An AddSIM(Adaptive distributed and parallel Simulation environment for Interoperable and reusable Models) is an integrated engagement simulation environment with high-resolution weapon system models for estimation and analysis of their performance and effectiveness. AddSIM can simultaneously handle the continuous dynamical system models based on continuous time, and command, control(C2) and network system models based on a discrete event. To accommodate legacies based on DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification) modeling, DEVS legacies must first be converted into AddSIM models. This paper describes how to implement DEVS models on AddSIM. In this study a method of mapping from hierarchical DEVS models to AddSIM players was developed: The hierarchical DEVS model should be flattened into a one layered model and four DEVS functions of the model, external transition, internal transition, output and time advance, should be mapped into functions of the AddSIM player.
