Abstract

This paper presents a revised version of DEVSML stack. The earlier version introduced the concept of transparent simulators in a netcentric domain. This version of DEVSML 2.0 stack introduces the transparent modeling concept and how a platform independent DEVS Modeling Language based on Finite Deterministic DEVS can help achieve model interoperability. Further, the new stack opens up the DEVS framework [1] to customized Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and facilitates DEVS adoption to a much wider audience. The paper describes the EBNF grammar for DEVSML language and a natural language DEVS DSL that is semantically anchored to the described language.
