3

Use the DEVS Model Generation GUI to create two atomic models --
Alice and Bob.  Where Alice immediately puts out a Hello  and where Bob waits for such an input and then puts out a Hi after 5 seconds.

1. There are various possibilities for Java IDEs (Integrated Development Environment). At this time, the most suitable for DEVSJAVA and free iDE appears to be NetBeans 5.5. Go to http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/quickstart.html
Read "Before You Begin" and download the JDK (Java Development Kit) and NetBeans as instructed there.

2, Go to the ACIMS software page and register for a DEVSJAVA license. --
indicate you are using it for instructional purposes. You will then receive a
pw for downloading or if there's a problem, I'll give you the package personally.

Continue with the Alice meets Bob model -- add this to Alice -- if  Bob does not replay within 4 seconds then she goes into state rudeDude.

Download the first two presentations from Devs Book: Presentations
Then look at Introduction to Atomic Models  -- slide 9 Fire-once Neuron
Introduction to Coupled Models & Examples --slide 6,Fire-once Neuron, slide 3 Neuron net

Use the DEVS Model Generator
( http://www.u.arizona.edu/~saurabh/fddevs/FD-DEVS.html)
to develop a Fire-once Neuron and then drop it into your DEVSJAVA project.
Try to create the Neuron net as the coupled model in
introduction to Coupled Models & Examples -- slide 3


Use the DEVS Model Generator to construct a generator that can be started and stopped.  When it receives a stop, it continues to output the pulse in process and then goes passive.  Hint:uncheck the reschedule box.

Download 3,4 and 6 from DEVS Book: Presentations
Download Illustrative DEVS Model Packages
(you can go direcdtly to this link or got to
http://www.acims.arizona.edu/SOFTWARE/software.shtml )


Particulalry add the SimpArc package to your NetBeans project.
Run efp with different choices of the processor model.
