Abstract

Multimodeling concepts allow designers of complex systems to organize their work better and to address the different components of a given system at the right level of abstraction. Agent-based modeling and simulation allows defining the behavior of the different components in a complex application with ease, allowing one to focus on the particular behavior of the different entities in the model. These concepts, pioneered by Prof. Ören, have had an important impact in the field of modeling and simulation. Here, we show how to use these ideas in combination with the DEVS formalism invented by Prof. Zeigler in order to build complex spatial models with focus on building construction and evacuation processes.
