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 ,
