"Complex information-technology-based business, engineering, military systems, as well as the societal infrastructures they support, are at the root of this century's global challenges of economy, climate, and energy. We are accustomed to building such systems directly in the real world and letting subsequent use and Mother Nature tell us how good they are. Increasingly, however, it is becoming too dangerous, costly, unethical, or risky to do so. "Build and test within virtual reality" is increasingly the only workable alternative--where by "virtual" we include a wide range of representations of the eventual fielded reality either wholly within a single computer or as networked distributed simulations, often enhanced with physically analogous and immersive environments. Modeling and Simulation (M&S) supply the basis for such environments"--
Collecting the work of the foremost scientists in the field, this book presents the state of the art in modeling discrete-event systems using the discrete-event system specification (DEVS) approach. It introduces the advances, extensions of formal techniques, and real-world examples of various applications, including optical network-on-chip, construction/building design, process control, workflow systems, and environmental models. The book employs DEVS as a unifying framework for computational modeling and as a formal foundation for model-driven engineering. It covers DEVS standardization as well as the theory of discrete-event modeling and simulation.
