A Context-Free Grammar for Generating Full Classic DEVS Models

Existing grammars generate Finite Deterministic DEVS models, a restricted subset of DEVS. The proposed context-free grammar generates the unrestricted set of Classic DEVS models. The grammar is implemented in ANTLR, a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. ANTLR enables the efficient processing of the specifications needed for generating members of Classic DEVS with ports. Applications include an easier introduction to DEVS for students and easier translation between different DEVS implementations.
