Hierarchical, modular modelling in DEVS-scheme

ABSTRACT

This tutorial describes the features of DEVS-Scheme a knowledge based simulation environment for hierarchical, modular discrete event models. The attributes of DEVS-Scheme which distinguish it from conventional approaches are described in terms of a set of layers, each layer dependent on its predecessor to achieve its functionality.
