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.

A simulation for the analysis of the evasive capability of a conventional costal submarine against a light Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) torpedo has been studied. The Torpedo, Submarine Controller, Devoy, and Jammer models of this simulation are analysised and designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and in addition they are modeled Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS). We examine maximum speed, acceleration, countermeasure systems capabilities of a submarine, and sonar range of a torpedo as the factors which affect the evasive capability of the submarine. This paper shows the relationships between those various factors and the submarine's evasive capability as the outcome of the simulation. The simulation models can be applied for simulation based acquisition (SBA) of a submarine system.

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.

Recently, requests for the accurate process planning using modeling and simulation technique are increasing in many engineering fields including shipbuilding industry. In this study, Combined DEVS(Discrete EVent System specification) and DTSS(Discrete Time System Specification) simulation kernel is developed, and an integration strategy of dynamics simulation module and graphics module is also implemented. To evaluate the efficiency and applicability of the simulation kernel and integration strategy, these are applied to the block erection simulation of offshore structures.

본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 상에 제어기와 구동부 등으로 구성된 가상제조시스템(Virtual Manufacturing System)을 구축하고 시뮬레이션하는 방법론을 다룬다. 특히 설비들간의 이동시 발생할 수 있는 3차원 공간상의 충돌을 검출하는 이산사건 및 연속상태 혼합 시뮬레이션 방법론을 소개한다. 시뮬레이션 모델은 DEVS(discrete event system specification) 형식론(formalsim)에 기초한 형상기구학 정보를 갖는 이른바 GKDEVS(Geometrical Kinematic DEVS)을 이용하였고, 시뮬레이션 방법론은 DEVS의 추상화 시뮬레이션(abstract simulation)방법을 확장하였다.

본 논문은 Zeigler가 제안한 이산 사건 시스템 형식론(DEVS : Discrete Event System Specification)을 기반으로 미시적 교통류 시뮬레이션 시스템의 교통 흐름 분석에 대한 연구를 주목적으로 한다. 도로교통망 모델링 방법은 미시적(microscopic)방법과 거시적(macroscopic)방법으로 분류하는데, 미시적 모형은 개별차량의 행태를 바탕을 둔 모형으로 거시적 모형에 비해 설명력이 뛰어나다는 장점을 가지고 있지만 실제 교통상황에서 관측하고 검증하기가 어렵다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 신뢰성 있는 미시적 교통류 모형의 설계를 위해 DEVS 형식론을 기반으로 개별 차량에 대한 차량 추종 및 차로 변경 모형을 모델링하고 이를 근거로 교통류 시뮬레이션 시스템의 교통흐름 분석을 한다.

DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification) 형식론은 계층적이고 모듈화된 형태로 이산사건 시스템을 기술한다. 본 논문에서는 CORBA를 이용한 Multi-threaded 분산 시뮬레이션 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 시뮬레이션 방법은 기존에 선행 연구된 DEVSCluster를 기반으로 한다. DEVSCluster는 계층적 DEVS 모델들을 비 계층적 모델로 구성하여 시뮬레이션한다. DEVSCluster는 전통적인 계층적인 시뮬레이션 시 발생하는 overhead를 제거한다. CORBA기반으로 DEVSCluster를 구성함으로써 산업 표준에 맞는 확정을 가지는 분산 시뮬레이션이 가능해졌다. 그리고 CORBA를 이용함으로써 기존에 분산 시뮬레이션 동기화를 위한 새로운 패러다임도 적용이 가능해 졌다. 제시한 시뮬레이션 방법의 효용성을 보이기 위해 Windows 시스템에서 분산 시뮬레이션 엔진을 구현하여 대규모 물류 시스템으로 성능을 측정하였다.

A curriculum is a measure of how high level of knowledge is educated to students affiliated to university institutions, and is used as an indicator evaluating usefulness of the university institutions. For this reason, Designing and assessing curricula is a critical to high education institutions. However, in the case of development and quality assessment of a curriculum with a traditional way, finding a right curriculum which a designer intends is a time consuming and error-prone process. Therefore, in order to improve these problems, we propose the curriculum design engine using SES (System Entity Structure) / DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) Framework in this paper. The SES describes all possible combination of curricula for students. The DEVS framework provides a simulation environment for models created from the SES by the students. The proposed engine will show appropriate curricula for students after a simulator appropriately filters students' requirement, according to conditions.

For the scheduling and the job assignment of the ship hull production design which is a process-based work, we suggest the simulation-based scheduling using the discrete-event-based business process simulation. First, we analyze the ship hull production design process from the perspective of a job assignment to make it into the simulation model using DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) which is the representative modeling method for a discrete-event simulation. Based on the APIs of the open-source discrete-event simulation engine, we implement the simulation using the Groovy script. We develop the scenario generator in which the user defines detail information of the construction drawing and its member blocks, and design engineers information, and the various setting for the simulation including the job assignment strategy. We use the XML files from this scenario generator as inputs of simulation so that we can get simulation result in forms of Gantt chart without changes of the simulation model.
