Behavior of coupled DEVS

DEVS is closed under coupling [Zeigper84] [ZPK00]. In other words, given a coupled DEVS model , its behavior is described as an atomic DEVS model . For a given coupled DEVS , once we have an equivalent atomic DEVS , behavior of can be referred to behavior of atomic DEVS which is based on Timed Event System.

Similar to behavior of atomic DEVS, behavior of the Coupled DEVS class is described depending on definition of the total state set and its handling as follows.

View1: Total States = States * Elapsed Times

Given a coupled DEVS model , its behavior is described as an atomic DEVS model

where


where

Given the partial state , let denote the set of imminent components. The firing component which triggers the internal state transition and an output event is determined by

where

View2: Total States = States * Lifespan * Elapsed Times

Given a coupled DEVS model , its behavior is described as an atomic DEVS model

where


where

and

Given the partial state , let denote the set of imminent components. The firing component which triggers the internal state transition and an output event is determined by

where

Time Passage

Since in a coupled DEVS model with non-empty sub-components, i.e., , the number of clocks which trace their elapsed times are multiple, so time passage of the model is noticeable.

For View1

Given a total state where

If unit event segment is the null event segment, i.e. , the state trajectory in terms of Timed Event System is

For View2

Given a total state where

If unit event segment is the null event segment, i.e. , the state trajectory in terms of Timed Event System is

Remarks

  1. The behavior of a couple DEVS network whose all sub-components are deterministic DEVS models can be non-deterministic if is non-deterministic.
