Interoperability between DEVS and non-DEVS models using DEVS/SOA

The absence of standarization could delay the progress of novel technological advances. Whereas, the guidance of uniform engineering specifications aims to amplify interoperability uppon systems. Extending functionality among different modeling and simulation frameworks opens a broad outreach to researchers. In this paper, we propose an approach supporting interoperability among DEVS compilant models and Matlab functionality in consort with a multi-platform web-based distributed simulation framework handling The Service oriented Architecture (SOA). To prevent the lack of homogeneous criteria, we employ recently developed interoperability concepts accompanied by Discrete EVent System (DEVS) Specification formalism to implement a standard for interoperability: a distributed simulation environment involving the DEVS/SOA JAVA and .NET simulation engines to simulate DEVS and non-DEVS models. Furthermore, we present a distributed sample model following the DEVS models specification interface while integrating Matlab utilities.
