This paper presents an approach for modeling and simulation of complex systems. This approach is based on the decomposition of the considered systems into sub-systems which appear on two levels: On the lower level; the decomposition concerns the division of a global system into atomic and coupled models based on DEVS formalism (Discrete Event Systems Specification). The system components are then represented using the DEVS mathematical equations. This step allows the formal system checking. At the higher lever, the implementation of the obtained DEVS models is realized using Multi-Agents Systems (MAS) based on Agent/Role/Group (AGR). Moreover, a set of procedures and functions permitting to transform DEVS to MAS models are defined and implemented. The main advantages of this approach are its adaptability for various domains, its flexibility (easy to implement), its extensibility (adding new components). A version of this work will be implemented using a functional extension of the Multi Agent Development KIT platform (MAD-KIT).

Complex systems are made of many elementary components in interaction. To model such systems, it is generally more convenient to decompose them into subsystems that are simpler to handle. This new division is to be made in a methodical way, by identification and complete definition of the various structures, actions and interactions of those sub-systems. In this work, the decomposition of the overall system into sub-systems is based primarily on the use of the Discrete EVent System Specification (DEVS) formalism. The obtained atomic and coupled models are formally verified and validated. Then, we use the Multi-agent Development KIT (MAD-KIT) Multi Agent Systems (MAS) operational tools to implement an industrial simulator. This simulator is used by beginner operators in the petroleum field to ameliorate the process of training and learning without stopping the real processes. The advantage of this approach is its adaptability as well as its possibilities of extension (addition of new functionalities). Moreover, the decomposition into sub-systems reduces significantly the complexity of the elements being implemented and therefore, allows a great modularity and a better legibility to the system. Our work is realised in collaboration with the production department of natural gas liquefaction (GL1/K Skikda), one of the principal hydrocarbons poles from SONATRACH complex in Algeria.

“…There exist numerous approaches to sophisticated implementations of virtual laboratories that can support students to learn practical work without the risks in real laboratories (Ramat and Preux, 2003). Nevertheless, it is insufficient for the universities to educate their students only in virtual laboratories.…”

Cooperation Support Systems, respectively CSCW-Systems, increasingly offer standardized interfaces to allow their integration into university-wide IT infrastructures. However, several disciplines (e.g. engineering and medical science) require the use and seamless integration of additional applications to meet researchers' requirements and support collaboration in a sustainable manner. This articles outlines the possibilities to integrate high-tech laboratories into existing IT infrastructures to strengthen the exchange of information among teaching, research, and industry. Since, laboratory components are usually characterized by proprietary interfaces, we replaced these manufacturer-specific interfaces and protocols by a service-oriented architecture for laboratories. Therefore, functionalities of laboratory components will be encapsulated as a service and made accessible by Linux Field-Bus Couplers. The modularization of the laboratory allows the connection to the world of e-learning documents. This article highlights the symbiosis between research in engineering and teaching at universities. The authors explain in the article that not only the research can take a significant influence on teaching, but also vice versa, the teaching is a part of the later researches in laboratories.
