ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how to create Discrete-event systems specification (DEVS) models with application in the area and introduces a simple collision detection model using Cell-DEVS. The chapter presents a DEVS model for the synchronization of radar transmitters and receivers and describes a Cell-DEVS model of behavior of a target seeker and a model of land battlefields. It shows a basic model on evacuation of buildings and how to describe flocking behavior of people being evacuated and provides some examples in using DEVS and Cell-DEVS in the field of defense and emergency planning. The chapter also presents simple collision detection model using Cell-DEVS and discusses a DEVS model for the synchronization of radar transmitters and receivers. It explores a Cell-DEVS model of the behavior of a target seeker and a model of land battlefields. The chapter explains basic evacuation models, including crowding in a metro, evacuation of a ship, and flocking behavior that can be used for people being evacuated.
