Abstract

As modern systems are increasing in complexity, modeling and simulating them are also becoming difficult. In particular, modeling and simulation (M&S) with one modeling method reveals the limitations of many simulation purposes. In order to tackle this limitation, the interoperation concept has been developed. For the interoperation of simulations, data management and time synchronization are indispensable. In this paper, we explain how the data management and time synchronization are performed in PlugSim environment. PlugSim is the DEVS-based framework for interoperation of simulations and its theoretical basis depends on the DEVS-BUS. PlugSim helps developers create an environment of interoperation of simulations. For better understanding, we provide an example and show the result of simulation in the case study.
