A Quantization-based ODE Approximation and HPP-LGCA Approach to ARGESIM Benchmark C17 ‘SIR-type Epidemic’ in a DEVS Environment based on MATLAB

Abstract

Simulator. MATLAB is a widely used programming environment for numerical computations extended by different toolboxes. Using MATLAB’s object oriented programming features a Parallel-DEVS simulation toolbox (PDEVStbx.) for discrete event oriented model- ing and simulation is implemented [5]. The toolbox is based on the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism by Zeigler and Chow [1, 2]. To support also continuous and hybrid system modeling the PDEVStbx is extended by specific components accord- ing to the Quantized-State-Systems (QSS) approach introduced in [3].
