The increased computational power and software tools available to engineers have
increased the use and dependence on modeling and computer simulation throughout the …

Log files are the primary source of recording users, applications and protocols, activities in
the cloud ecosystem. Cloud forensic investigators can use log evidence to ascertain when …

In this work, we attempt to bring together the origins, main results, and recent advances on
discrete-event simulation of continuous-time systems. Starting from the early approaches …

Building Software for Simulation A unique guide to the design and implementation of
simulation software This book offers a concise introduction to the art of building simulation …

Given a process whose output is a dynamic function of time, the traditional discrete event
specification (DEVS) approximates the input, output, and state trajectories through …

Computer simulation is a fundamental discipline for studying complex systems. Similar to
any other discipline, simulation must grow and be fine-tuned so that it maintains its position …

This paper presents HCSM, a framework for behavior and scenario control based on
communicating hierarchical, concurrent state machines. We specify the structure and an …

We review Discrete-Event system Specification (DEVS) in the context of Model-based
Systems Engineering (MBSE) and discuss an application of DEVS methodology to MBSE …

Composition of models is considered essential in develo** heterogeneous complex
systems and in particular simulation models capable of expressing a system's structure and …

Most modeling and simulation (M&S) questions about cyber-physical systems (CPSs)
require expert skills belonging to different scientific fields. The challenges are then to …
