Abstract

Quartz is a modelling and simulation framework enabling the development and the execution of models based on the Parallel Discrete Event System Specification (PDEVS) formalism. In this paper we give an overview of the tool by giving details on its design and features. An experimental comparison shows that Quartz yields performances comparable to what is observed with aDEVS, one of the most efficient tool implemented with a compiled language. We present our efforts to provide dedicated expressions and verification facilities to the modeler and give examples of application domains that motivated this software. Namely, agent-based modeling through the Dynamic Parallel Discrete Event Multi-Agent (DPDEMAS) specification and multicomponent modeling with the multiPDEVS formalism.
