The Leader in Advanced Modeling and
Simulation Automation
Requirements’ Engineering
Preface
MS4 Me is a requirements' engineering modeling and simulation platform that allows you to convert
stakeholders' words, intent and meaning into a design that can be visualized in terms of material,
resources and timing. The model can be built and simulated in real-time allowing you to negotiate
requirements with your stakeholders in the most efficient manner yet possible.
MS4 Me is easy to use and only takes a few hours of training to get started, but is extremely powerful
and scales to any size project. The same tool can be used by managers then architects/designers and
ultimately engineers and technicians who can drill down to the finest and most sophisticated mathematical
detail. The same platform that collects the requirements can execute the simulation on a laptop, and then
be exteneded to a cluster, grid or a massively parallel super computer

Summary
The course covers the basics of systems concepts and discrete event systems specification (DEVS), a
computational basis for system theory. It demonstrates the application of DEVS to "virtual build and test"
requirements engineering in complex information-intensive systems development. The DEVSME Requirements
Engineering Environment leverages the power of the DEVS modeling and simulation methodology. A particular
focus is the application of model-based data engineering in today's data rich and information challenged
system environments.
