UML Modeling for Berth System of Container Terminal Based on DEVS
Zhiyong Zhang, Jie Liu, Xinhui Zhang · ASME Press eBooks · 2011
DEVS is a hierarchical and modular system descriptive method. However, it cannot describe dynamic process and relationship between system members. This article has proposed a way to extend UML using stereotype, making it suitable for simulation modeling. To build a modeling tool, we defined atomic model class and coupled model class, both of which are in line with not only DEVS's hierarchical and modular requirements but also UML's object-oriented characteristics. At last, we use the tool to analyze and build UML models for the container berths system, making it easier to implement on simulation platform.
