A MULTIVIEW APPROACH TO MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF DISCRETE EVENT SYSTEMS

摘要

This article describes a framework suitable for modeling and analysis of discrete event systems. It is based on three interrelated concepts: views, domains and levels of abstraction. The view is the fundamental concept driving the modeling and analysis process. As modeling becomes more complex, involving several engineering disciplines, the role of each separate view is to support the use of system projections from different perspectives or points of view. We demonstrate the suitability of our generic model by applying it to the performance and dependability analysis of a job-shop system.
