Original Abstract

The aim of this article is to present DEVSML (DEVS Meta Language) that is intended for implementation of simulation models based on the DEVS formalism. A model implemented by DEVSML is independent of the concrete simulation environment implementation. Furthermore, a model can be simply and automatically transformed and used by potentially whatever DEVS-based simulation environment, such as DEVS/C++, DEVSJava, etc. Since models are generally not portable between different simulation environments, it is necessary to implement models for every framework, which costs a lot of time and resources. DEVSML eliminates this annoyance and enables creation of models, which can be shared between different simulation environments. DEVSML defines model's structure as well as behavior by XML (eXtensible Markup Language). Transformation of models is based on the XSL transformation. For every simulation environment, an XSL template needs to be created and used for the transformation.
