Simulation algorithms for coupled DEVS

Given a coupled DEVS model, simulation algorithms are methods to generate the model's legal behaviors, which are a set of trajectories not to reach illegal states. (see behavior of a Coupled DEVS model.) [Zeigler84] originally introduced the algorithms that handle time variables related to lifespan and elapsed time by introducing two other time variables, last event time, , and next event time with the following relations:

and

where denotes the current time. And the remaining time,

is equivalently computed as

, apparently .

Based on these relationships, the algorithms to simulate the behavior of a given Coupled DEVS are written as follows.

Algorithms

DEVS-coordinator
  Variables:
     parent // parent coordinator
     : // time of last event
     : // time of next event
     // the associated Coupled DEVS model
  when receive init-message(Time t)
     for each  do
        send init-message(t) to child 
     ;
     ;
  when receive star-message(Time t)
     if  then
        error: bad synchronization;
     
     send star-message(t)to 
     ;
     ;
  when receive x-message(, Time t)
     if  and  == false then
        error: bad synchronization;
     for each  do
        send x-message(,t) to child 
     ;
     ;
  when receive y-message(, Time t)
     for each  do
        send x-message(,t) to child 
     if  then
        send y-message(, t) to parent;
     ;
     ;
