Abstract

The DEVS formalism was defined as a method for modeling and discrete event systems. DEVS theory evolved and it was recently upgraded in order to permit modeling of continuous and hybrid systems. Here, we present a first experience on the use of two of the existing methods for defining continuous variable DEVS models (namely, the QDEVS and the GDEVS formalisms), to develop continuous and hybrid systems simulations. We show how to model these dynamic systems under the discrete event abstraction. Examples of model simulations with their execution results are included. An experimental analysis on quantization methods within models is also presented.
