Frameworks and Tools

Predictive planning for water-energy systems

Integrated RESTful WEAP-KIB-LEAP: It is a general composable, RESTful modeling and interoperable simulation framework supporting long-term planning of water-energy systems at realistic scales. It enables development of water, energy, and their interaction models: Componentized WEAP, Knowledge Interchange Broker, and Componentized LEAP. It can be used for simulating long-term planning such as the Phoenix Active Management Area.

Compoentized WEAP: This is a RESTful framework that automatically generates components for the entities of any WEAP system, a propitiatory, commercial tool for simulating and analyzing water systems. it can be used as a standalone simulator.

Compoentized LEAP: This is a RESTful framework that automatically generates components for the entities of any LEAP system, a propitiatory, commercial tool for simulating and analyzing energy systems. It can be used as a standalone simulator.

Modeling Tools

PVM: This is a novel visual and persistent RESTful tool for creating modular and hierarchical component models. It supports integrated structural and behavioral (PDEVS statecharts) models. The tool separates while synchronizing the complementary visual and persistent models. Models can be independently and visually explored at multiple structural and behavioral hierarchy levels and stored in MongoDB. The tool displays the structural and behavioral metrics for any component at any level in its hierarchy.

PDLM: It is an agentic framework to assist in developing Parallel DEVS (PDEVS) models. It uses PDEVS modeling formalism, PDEVS statecharts, and LLM. The PDEVS-LLM is equipped with grammars for the PDEVS statecharts and hierarchical coupled model. LLM agents assist modelers in (re-)generating models with conversation histories. Examples are developed to demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of LLMs for generative PDEVS models.

CoSMoSim: an integrated platform for system model development, simulation, and experimentation. It has a unified logical, visual, and persistent modeling foundation supporting specifying families of parallel DEVS, Cellular Automata & XML-Schema models. It support Parallel DEVS (PDEVS) Statecharts language.

Other Simulators

OSATE-DEVS: An integrated open source framework supporting hybrid AADL and DEVS modeling and simulation for embedded and cyber-physical systems (CPS). This framework has a DEVS Annex which is integrated with OSATE, a framework for development of embedded software systems using AADL (Architecture Analysis and Design Language).

SimRS: It is open source web-enabled discrete event simulator for event graphs. It generates and simulates Event Graph models from DEVS atomic and coupled models with a model transformation method.

MS4 Me: this tool and DEVS-Suite share the same lineage (DEVSJAVA simulator). Each tool offers its own advanced capabilities. Focusing on models and simulations, the DEVS-Suite and MS4 Me have significant differences, for example, the former in terms of control modes and visualizations and latter for activity modeling.

DEVS/C++: a user-manual. The C++ code is not available; the manual is useful given the major similarities between the C++ and Java programming languages.
