Abstract
Our goal was to realize a truly hybrid simulation system, which allows the simultaneous use of discreet event simulation and continuous 3D-simulation on a unified database. The key component is an active real-time simulation database, which is an object-oriented, self-reflecting graph database, with a powerful meta-information system. We achieve this by using State Oriented Modeling, which combines the ideas of object-oriented Petri-nets and supervisory control (using discreet event simulation as a control component). The object-oriented Petri-nets are formally described in the State Oriented Modeling Language, which is itself an extension scheme of the simulation database.

More examples can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/VEROSIMSimulations, all of which are based on the VSD and most of them use supervisory control.
