碩士 === 大同大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 90 === There is a need to develop standards for a computer processable representation of DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) models that supports common understanding, sharing and interoperability of DEVS implementations. To achieve this goal, this thesis focuses on the adoption of XML in model description and development to generate a standard intermediate format to entitle sharing between different DEVS simulation environments that will facilitate simulation interoperability and reuse. The system we have implemented contains two main parts: the Model Builder and the Specific DEVS Model Language Translation Module. The Model Builder includes the User Interface Module, which offers a GUI for building the SES (System Entity Structure), and the XML Translation Module, which translates the SES into an intermediate meta-form in XML format. The XML document can be translated into a specific DEVS simulation code by using the DEVS Language Translation Module being developed. Finally, this thesis also presents an example to demonstrate our work.
