Simulation algorithms for coupled DEVS

Given a coupled DEVS model, simulation algorithms are methods to generate the model's legal behaviors, which are a set of trajectories not to reach illegal states. (see behavior of a Coupled DEVS model.) [Zeigler84] originally introduced the algorithms that handle time variables related to lifespan $t_{s}\in [0,\infty ]$ and elapsed time $t_{e}\in [0,\infty )$ by introducing two other time variables, last event time, $t_{l}\in [0,\infty )$ , and next event time $t_{n}\in [0,\infty ]$ with the following relations:

\,t_{e}=t-t_{l}

and

\,t_{s}=t_{n}-t_{l}

where $t\in [0,\infty )$ denotes the current time. And the remaining time,

\,t_{r}=t_{s}-t_{e}

is equivalently computed as

\,t_{r}=t_{n}-t,

apparently $t_{r}\in [0,\infty ]$ .

Based on these relationships, the algorithms to simulate the behavior of a given Coupled DEVS are written as follows.
