Abstract:	DEVS is an increasingly accepted frame- work for understanding and supporting modeling and simulation. DEVS is a sound formal framework based on generic dynamic systems, including well defined coupling of components, hierarchical, modular construc- tion, support for discrete event approximation of con- tinuous systems and support for repository reuse. DEVS theory provides a rigorous method for representing models, and presents an abstract way of thinking about the world with independence of the simulation mecha- nisms, underlying hardware and middleware. In this presentation we will introduce and summarize a variety of advances carried out by our team in this field. The ar- ticle summarizes the contents of our discussion, and it is based on previous articles (whose full version can be found in the list of references).
