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:
“Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (19041967)
“The admission of the States of Wyoming and Idaho to the Union are events full of interest and congratulation, not only to the people of those States now happily endowed with a full participation in our privileges and responsibilities, but to all our people. Another belt of States stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”
—Benjamin Harrison (18331901)
“... most Southerners of my parents era were raised to feel that it wasnt respectable to be rich. We felt that all patriotic Southerners had lost everything in defense of the South, and sufficient time hadnt elapsed for respectable rebuilding of financial security in a war- impoverished region.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 1 (1962)
“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)
