An architecture to simulate diffusion processes in multiplex dynamic networks

Dynamic Complex Systems have been analyzed using diffusion processes in multiplex networks, nevertheless, there are no well-established modeling and simulation (M&S) mechanisms for these applications. We present an architecture based on Network Theory, Agent-Based Modeling, and Discrete Event System Specifications (DEVS) to simulate diffusion processes in dynamic multiplex networks. The proposed architecture provides rigor and formalism to the study of diffusion processes in multiplex networks.
