Summary

CD++ implements DEVS theory. The toolkit has been built as a set of independent software pieces, each of them independent of the operating environment chosen. The defined models are built as a class hierarchy, and each of them is related with a simulation entity that is activated whenever the model needs to be executed. New models can be incorporated into this class hierarchy by writing DEVS models in C++, overloading the basic methods representing DEVS specifications: external transitions, internal transitions and output functions. Alternatively models can be created using the aid of CD++Modeler, which practically avoids the usage of C++ programming language.

CD++Modeler is part of the CD++ toolkit, created for designing and executing DEVS models using a graphical notation. CD++Modeler provides the tools to create advanced models using a built-in specification tool and to animate the results of model simulation. The software is written in Java programming language.

In this paper we show the design of the CD++Modeler, and its relationship to the toolkit.
