Modeling and Simulation of Systems of Systems
Summary
This two and one half -day course is designed for
engineers and managers who wish to enhance their
capabilities to construct, work with, and/or understand
state-of-the-art concepts and tools for modeling and
simulation for systems of systems. The course covers
the basics of systems concepts and discrete event
systems specification (DEVS), a computational basis
for system theory. It demonstrates the application of
DEVS to "virtual build and test" of engineered systems
of systems, the increasingly adopted alternative to
complex systems development. Discussion of DEVS-
Compliant environments will provide examples of
state-of-the-art agent-based, high-fidelity SoS spacesystems
simulations. Students will gain access to
modeling and simulation software that provides hands
on experience with integrated development and testing
of modern component-based systems.
Instructors
Bernard P. Zeigler is chief scientist for RTSync,
Zeigler has been chief architect for
simulation-based automated testing of
net-centric IT systems with DoD’s Joint
Interoperability Test Command as well
as for automated model composition for
the Department of Homeland Security.
He is internationally known for his
foundational text Theory of Modeling and Simulation,
second edition (Academic Press, 2000), He was
named Fellow of the IEEE in recognition of his
contributions to the theory of discrete event simulation.
Steven B. Hall has extensive experience
developing complex adaptive, system-of-system (SoS)
models and simulations. His nationally recognized
Joint MEASURETM system has successfully
integrated over 1 million lines of source code
comprising a library of reusable and composable
models at multiple levels of fidelity and spatial
resolution to provide a capability to analyze the often
emergent behavior of situated complex adaptive
system-of-system operations.
What You Will Learn
• Basic concepts of Discrete Event System Specification
(DEVS) and how to apply them using simulation
software.
• How to understand and simulate systems with both
Discrete and Continuous temporal behaviors.
• System of Systems Concepts, Interoperability and
service orientation, within a modeling and simulation
framework.
• Integrated System Development and Testing with
applications to service oriented architectures.
• Concepts and Tools at the cutting edge of the state-ofthe-art
exemplified by advanced adaptive complex
systems environments.
From this course you will obtain the understanding
of how to leverage collaborative modeling and
simulation to analyze systems of systems problems
within an integrated development and testing
process.
