The Development of a MATLAB-based Discrete Event Simulation Framework for the Engagement Simulations of the Weapon Systems

Abstract

Simulation Framework is a basic software tool used to develop simulation applications. This paper describes the development of a discrete event simulation framework based on DEVS(Discrete EVent System Specification) formalism, using MATLAB language which is widely used in technical computing and engineering disciplines. The newly developed framework utilizing MATLAB object oriented programming combines the convenience of MATLAB language and the sophisticated architecture of the DEVS formalism. Hence, it supports the productivity, flexibility, extensibility that are required for the simulation application software development of the weapon systems engagement. Moreover, it promises a simulation application the increased the computation speed proportional to the number of CPU of a multi-core processor, providing the batch simulation functionality based on MATLAB parallel computing technology

“…그럼에도 불구하고, 시뮬레이션 프레임워크 및 모델의 표준화가 정립되지 않아 새로운 무기체계의 분석을 위한 시뮬레이션 SW를 개발할 때, 기존 모델을 재사용하지 못 하고 반복적으로 새로운 모델 및 구조를 개발하고 있다. 국방과학연구소에서는 시뮬레이션 프레임워크 [8] 및 모델 의 표준화 정립 [9][10][11] 을 위해 많은 노력을 기울여왔으며, 그 결과 국방 M&S에서 요구되는 공통기반기술 제공을 목적 으로 하는 DEVS기반의 통합개발환경 QUEST (Quick-assembly Unified Engineering Simulation Toolkit) [12][13][14] 을 개발하 였다.…”
