The aim of this article is to present DEVSML (DEVS Meta
Language) that is intended for implementation of simulation
models based on the DEVS formalism. A model
implemented by DEVSML is independent of the concrete
simulation environment implementation. Furthermore, a
model can be simply and automatically transformed and
used by potentially whatever DEVS-based simulation
environment, such as DEVS/C++, DEVSJava, etc. Since
models are generally not portable between different
simulation environments, it is necessary to implement
models for every framework, which costs a lot of time and
resources. DEVSML eliminates this annoyance and enables
creation of models, which can be shared between different
simulation environments. DEVSML defines model's
structure as well as behavior by XML (eXtensible Markup
Language). Transformation of models is based on the XSL
transformation. For every simulation environment, an XSL
template needs to be created and used for the
transformation.
