We consider the ability of Discrete Event System Speci-cation (DEVS) to provide the concepts and formalisms needed for modeling and simulation of emergent behavior. We show that DEVS provides systems components and coupling for models of systems of systems with emergent behavior. Further, DEVS coupling supports dynamic structure for adaptive...

Sequential machines can be realized by series and parallel connections of components. These connections can be automatically learned by simulation, rating and selecting component models. Our goal here is threefold: (i) discuss implications for model reconstruction and reconfiguration in model engineering, (ii) present mathematical analyses of...

Synthesis of systems constitutes a vast class of problems. Although machine learning techniques operate at the functional level, little attention has been paid to system synthesis using a hierarchical model-base. This paper develops an original approach for automatically rating component systems and composing them according to the experimental...

In Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS), the dynamics of a network is constituted only by the dynamics of its basic components. The state of each component is fully encapsulated. Control in the network is fully decentralized to each component. At dynamic structure level, DEVS should permit the same level of decentralization. However, it...
