Abstract
This article examined the features of the DEVS-Scheme environment, inc luding its underlying object-oriented foundation, the DEVS formalism, modelling and simulation constructs, and knowledge representation sche me. Some future research issues were also discussed. The object-orient ed simulation environment supports building discrete event models in a hierarchical, modular manner which is more difficult in conventional simulation languages. Its application domains include flexible manufac turing systems, computer networks, autonomous laboratory robots, and g roup decision support systems.
