Abstract

Distributed Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) environments are developed with various computing, networking and implementation language options. We propose a distributed approach to the Simulation Modeling Architecture (SiMA), a DEVS-based modeling and simulation framework, with software connectors. We employWindows Communication Foundation (WCF) as the middleware technology. A connector is a first class entity which performs interaction among components, thus, plays an important role in a component-based architecture. We claim that using a connector instead of modifying an already developed model increases the model reusability. We also compare this approach with the existing distributed DEVS approaches in terms of base formalism, network layer technology, model partitioning, remote node synchronization scheme and message exchange pattern.
