DEVS abbreviating Discrete Event System Specification is a modular and hierarchical formalism for modeling and analyzing general systems that can be discrete event systems which might be described by state transition tables, and continuous state systems which might be described by differential equations, and hybrid continuous state and discrete event systems. DEVS is a timed event system.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'devs'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install devs

Inside of your Ruby program do:

require 'devs'

...to pull it in as a dependency.

The following API documentation is available :

• YARD API documentation

require 'devs'

simulation = DEVS.build do
  duration 50

  add_model do
    name :traffic_light
    add_output_port :out

    init do
      @state = :red
      self.next_activation = 0
    end

    time_advance { self.next_activation }

    output do
      post @state, :out
    end

    after_output do
      @state, @sigma = case @state
      when :red
        [:green, 5]
      when :green
        [:orange, 20]
      when :orange
        [:red, 2]
      end
    end
  end
end
simulation.simulate
