abstract = {The design of distributed control strategies for multi-robot systems (MRS) relies heavily on simulations 

to validate algorithms prior to real-world deployment. However, simulating such systems poses significant 

challenges due to their dynamic network topologies and scalability requirements, where full inter-robot 

communication becomes computationally prohibitive. In this paper, we extend the applications of the 

Emergent Behavior DEVS (EB-DEVS) formalism by developing an agent-based model (ABM) to address 

key distributed control challenges in networked MRS. The proposed approach supports both direct and 

indirect interactions between agents (robots) via event messages and through macroscopic-microscopic states 

sharing, respectively. We validate the model using a challenging cooperative target-capturing scenario that 

demands dynamic multi-hop communication and robust coordination among agents. This complex use case 

highlights the strengths of EB-DEVS in managing asynchronous events while minimizing communication 

overhead. The results demonstrate the formalism’s effectiveness in supporting decentralized control and 

simulation scalability within a hierarchical micro-macro modeling framework.},

abstract = {This work presents a methodology for developing embedded applications in Internet-of-Things (IoT) and robotic systems through Model and Simulation (Mtextbackslash&S)-based design. 

We introduce adaptations to the PowerDEVS toolkit's abstract simulator to enable embedded execution on resource-constrained platforms, specifically targeting the widely used ESP32 development kit tailored to IoT systems. 

We present a library of DEVS atomic models designed for simulation-environment interaction, enabling embedded software development through sensor data acquisition and actuator control. To demonstrate the practical utility of the embedded PowerDEVS framework, we evaluate its performance in real-world discrete-event control applications, including a line-follower robot and an electric kettle temperature regulator. These case studies highlight the approach’s versatility and seamless integration in IoT and robotic systems.},
