Abstract

Model Development and Execution Process with Repositories, Validation, and Verification In this chapter, we discuss another modeling and simulation environment that supports both development and storage of families of DEVS models for Systems of Systems. Component-based System Modeler (CoSMo ) is grounded in a unified logical, persistence, and visual model development concept. We show how you can develop ; store, retrieve, and instantiate DEVS SoS models such as those for service oriented and cloud systems (Chaps. 14 and 15). We develop a unified concept supporting logical, visual, and persistence modeling and simulation framework (CoSMoS ) which lends itself for data (XML Schema) modeling and XML Schema code as well as cellular automata modeling. We show how the concept of SW/HW co-design for systems of systems fits seamlessly into the CoSMoS framework. While being based on the same underlying concepts of DEVS model construction, MS4 Me ™ and CoSMoS offer somewhat different perspectives on support for SoS model construction.
