Ontology Based DEVS Modeling Method

Abstract

Abstract: In the field of modeling and simulation, it’s difficult to reuse the models because the models and simulation system are coupled seriously. The Ontology-driven modeling theory is a simulation modeling methodology for model reuse. A new DEVS modeling method was proposed based on this theory. The DEVS modeling ontology DEVSMO was built and the DEVS model could be described as the instance of the DEVSMO. This form of DEVS model was independent of the DEVS simulation environment, which improved the model reusability. A tool was developed to translate the DEVSMO instance to DEVS executable models to verify the effectiveness of the method.

Key words: ontology-driven modeling, DEVS, ontology, modeling ontology
