Behavior of Coupled DEVS - View1: Total States = States * Elapsed Times

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 ,
    ta(s)= \min\{ ta_i(si) - t_{ei}| i \in D\}.


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

where

(s_i', t_{ei}')= \begin{cases} (\delta_{ext}(s_i, t_{ei}, x_i),0) & \text{if } (x, x_i) \in C_{xx}\\ (s_i, t_{ei}) & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}

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

(s_i', t_{ei}')= \begin{cases} (\delta_{int}(s_i),0) & \text{if } i = i^*\\ (\delta_{ext}(s_i, t_{ei}, x_i),0) & \text{if } (\lambda_{i^*}(s_{i^*}), x_i) \in C_{yx}\\ (s_i, t_{ei}) & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}
  • is the output function. Given a partial state ,
    \lambda(s)= \begin{cases} \phi &\text{if } \lambda_{i^*}(s_{i^*})=\phi \\ C_{yy}(\lambda_{i^*}(s_{i^*})) &\text{otherwise}. \end{cases}

Famous quotes containing the words total, states, elapsed and/or times:

    “If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual’s total development lags behind?”
    —Maria Montessori (1870–1952)

    “fundamentally an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism.”
    —Thomas Nagel (b. 1938)

    “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 doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve 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 other’s lives.”
    —Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)

    “I ... toyed with the idea of going to find another war where I could at least feel alive. I was so numb that it took terror to make me feel anything.”
    —Bess Jones, U.S. nurse. As quoted in the New York Times Magazine, p. 72 (November 7, 1993)
