Event-Driven Debug Framework for EDEVS Based Components

Debugging EDEVS based components using existing debug frameworks is very time-consuming for the following reasons: Firstly, EDEVS based components are self-contained and are independent of simulation applications, so test case must be designed and implemented beforehand. Secondly, Usually EDEVS based components are hierarchically composed of many subcomponents, so examine the data flow among all these subcomponents is a big job. Thirdly, EDEVS components are designed to run inside a component container built upon Event-scheduling based simulation engine, so debug processes usually lost to the inner logic of the engine. To solve these problems an event-driven EDEVS component debug framework is proposed and its implementation under YHSUPE is presented.
