Abstract

This paper presents the results obtained with a tool used to model and simulate discrete event systems, based on Discrete Event systems Specification (DEVS) formalism. Its main features are presented and its use shown through application examples. The use of this formal approach allowed development of safe and cost-effective simulations. A simulated processor was built to study the different levels of a computer system. The goal was to help the full comprehension of the computer behaviour used in computer organization courses. The environment helped the students understand these complex systems and also allowed them to make empirical comparisons and performance studies for educational purposes.
