The class kernel-models in DEVS-scheme: a hypercube architecture example

Abstract

DEVS-Scheme is a realization of DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) formalism in a LISP-based, object-oriented environment, which supports hierarchical, modular specification of discrete event models. We describe the taxonomical organization of classes in DEVS-Scheme in which the hypercube-models class is described in detail. As an example, we illustrate specification of a hypercube model of a computer architecture. DEVS-Scheme represents a significant step toward implementing system-theoretic based formalisms and operations.
