A transformation model from DEVS to SMP2 based on MDA

Simulation Model Portability standard 2 (SMP2) is a successful simulation model reuse standard in European Space Agency. Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) is one of most common and powerful simulation model formalisms. Transforming a simulation model from DEVS representation to SMP2 representation is of great significance for model reuse. A Model Driven Architecture (MDA) based transformation methodology is presented first. According to this methodology, a MOF based DEVS metamodel is created and the mappings from DEVS metamodel to SMP2 metamodel are established. A transformation model from DEVS to SMP2 is described based on Query/View/Transformation (QVT) language. An illustrative example is detailed to demonstrate the application of the transformation model. The transformation model’s further application strategy and our next work are discussed in the final part.
