Abstract

State explosion is a well-known problem that impedes analysis md testing of discrete event systems, thus making the verification of large systems intrinsically difficult job. This paper suggests a hierarchical verification methodology of untimed DEVS model which can alleviate the state explosion problem. The method is a repetitive procedure of designing and verifying between the upper level and the lower level models abstracting away the unnecessary information with respect to a given verification task. A small example was employed to show our suggested method in detail.

상태폭발문제는 이산사건 시스템 검증과정에서 피하기 어려운 문제로 알려져 있으며, 큰 시스템 해석을 어렵게 만드는 본질적인 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 이산사건 시스템의 무시간 DEVS/DEVS 명세에 대한 계층적인 설계/검증 방법을 제안하여 상태폭발문제를 회피할 수 있는 방법을 보인다. 제안한 방법은 DEVS 상위모델과 DEVS 하위 모델간의 설계/검증 과정을 계층적이면서도 반복적인 방식을 채택하여 검증에 필요한 요소 이외에는 정제 과정을 통하여 없애는 방안이다. 간단한 예제를 통하여 제안된 방법론을 소개하고 있다.
