View1: Total States = States * Elapsed Times
Given a coupled DEVS model, its behavior is described as an atomic DEVS model
where
- and are the input event set and the output event set, respectively.
- is the partial state set where is the total state set of component (Refer to View1 of Behavior of DEVS), where is the set of non-negative real numbers.
- is the initial state set where is the total initial state of component .
- is the time advance function, where is the set of non-negative real numbers plus infinity.Given ,

- is the external state function. Given a total state where, and input event, the next state is given by
where

Given the partial state, let denote the set of imminent components. The firing component which triggers the internal state transition and an output event is determined by
- is the internal state function. Given a partial state, the next state is given by
where

- is the output function. Given a partial state ,

Famous quotes containing the words total, states, elapsed and/or times:
“The total collapse of the public opinion polls shows that this country is in good health. A country that developed an airtight system of finding out in advance what was in peoples minds would be uninhabitable.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“[Urging the national government] to eradicate local prejudices and mistaken rivalships to consolidate the affairs of the states into one harmonious interest.”

“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
