This paper proposes DEVS (Discrete Event System
Specification)-based software process simulation modeling
method which is a formally specified, modularized, and
extensible simulation modeling approach. The proposed approach
adopts DEVS formalism, a general purpose discrete
event modeling and simulation framework, to the software
process simulation modeling domain. This approach
enables us to clearly understand the software process simulation
model by formal specification, and provides explicit
extension point to extend the simulation model for a specific
purpose.
This approach also provides naturally hybrid software
process simulation modeling environment, which
embeds DESS (Differential Equation System Specification)
and DTSS (Discrete Time System Specification)
into DEVS formalism. This hybrid approach overcomes
some limitations of system dynamics simulation models,
such as difficulties of controlling process execution,
representing explicit process activity, and modeling inherent
uncertainty.
