In this presentation we discuss the evolution of simulation from its origin in design of computer and communication systems based on event routines, to the conceptualization of the objects under study as systems, to the behavior generation of DEVS models representing a wide variety of cyber-physical forms. Indeed, the history of computer...

Conditions under which compositions of component systems form a well-defined system-of-systems are here formulated at a fundamental level. Statement of what defines a well-defined composition and sufficient conditions guaranteeing such a result offers insight into exemplars that can be found in special cases such as differential equation and...

We present here a system morphism methodology to give insight into the lumping process of networks of linear systems. Lumping networks allows reducing the number of components and states to obtain simulatable models. Such lumped networks can be connected together through their input/output interfaces, using an engineering approach...
