On the Interoperability of DEVS components: On-Line vs. Off-Line Strategies
Résumé
During the last years, the DEVS community provides many contributions towards the realization of a world-wide platform for collaborative Modeling & Simulation. The goal of such a platform would be to enable the sharing and reuse of models between scientists, as well as the seamless simulation of distributed and heterogeneous models. Therefore, one of the major research fields is the definition of architectures for integrating heterogeneous DEVS components, meaning simulators and/or models written in different frameworks and programming languages. In this work, we present three different strategies for providing such interoperability between DEVS components. The first focuses on standardizing exchanges between simulators, and has been explored in previous works. The two others strategies are more prospective; in keeping with Model-Driven Engineering, they place the model at the center of their architecture and make extensive use of model transformations. To make this possible, we defined a platform and language-independent format for describing and sharing DEVS models, called DEVS Markup Language.
