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 techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (19021968)
“We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is staleidentity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“The quickness with which all the stuff from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesnt seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far weve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each others lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“There are times when we must sink to the bottom of our misery to understand truth, just as we must descend to the bottom of a well to see the stars in broad daylight.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
