G-DEVS / HLA Environment for Distributed Simulations of Workflows
Résumé
The objective of the paper is to present a Workflow en-vironment based on the modeling and the simulation in DEVS / G-DEVS. Having selected the essential concepts in the elaboration of Workflow, we present a language of description to define Workflow processes. Then, we describe a function to trans-form Workflow specifications into G-DEVS models. We illustrate the use of this environment with an example of Microelectronic production Workflow. Finally, we define a distributed Workflow Reference Model that interfaces components of the Workflow by con-forming to the HLA standard.
