A model-driven software environment for modeling, simulation and analysis of complex systems

SimStudio is a Modeling & Simulation environment based on the DEVS formalism (Discrete EVent Systems Specification). Its architecture aims at integrating in a single platform tools for modeling, simulation, analysis and collaboration, by proposing model transformation features (code generation, among others) in order to smooth the modeling and simulation cycle and facilitate the coupling of models developed using heterogeneous formalisms. To achieve this, SimStudio is built upon the DEVS formalism, recognized by many as a "universal" simulation formalism, and upon a unifying language for representing DEVS models. Models are at the heart of the infrastructure we propose, in line with the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach, at the boundary between software engineering and simulation.
