Abstract:
Discrete Event system Specification (DEVS) is a simple comprehensive way to describe complex discrete event
systems in a hierarchical way. Few years ago, Finite and Deterministic DEVS (FDDEVS) was introduced
to support verification analysis of a subclass of DEVS problems, in the same way as formal methods.
This paper presents guidelines to transform behavioral models used in formal methods like critical sections,
especially described in PROMELA in this case, into FDDEVS models, and shows the benefits of such a transformation.
