abstract = {In this chapter we present recently developed theoretical and practical tools for the modeling and simulation (M&S) of hybrid systems with a focus on data networks. An integrative methodology based on the Discrete EVent Systems specification (DEVS) permits the M&S of complex systems by choosing the most convenient representation paradigm for each subsystem, allowing discrete time, discrete event and continuous models to coexist. In particular, we focus on designing and studying Quality of Service (QoS) controllers for data networks at diverse granularity levels, enabling the adoption of control theory, and aiming at the final implementation of algorithms in real-time hardware.},
