CD++Builder: an eclipse-based IDE for DEVS modeling

ABSTRACT

Modeling and simulation tools have been used for helping in the early stages of hardware/software systems design. The DEVS formalism is a technique that enables hierarchical description of discrete event models that can be used for this task. CD++Builder is an Eclipse plugin that permits defining these applications. We present the main features of the toolkit and its relation to Eclipse libraries and extension points.
