The objective of the DEVS Standardization effort is to develop standards for a computer processable representation of DEVS that supports common understanding, sharing and interoperability of DEVS implementations. Computer processable forms include all forms of simulation and real-time execution as well as various forms of syntactic and semantic analysis. 

The Dutch Institute of Systems and Control is an interuniversitary research institute and graduate school by the Delft and Eindhoven Universities of Technology and the University of Twente. A large majority of the participants in the school are affiliated with the faculties of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and mathematics of these three universities. A large number of other faculties and institutes in the Netherlands participate in DISC under various agreements. 

Groupe de travail sur les Systèmes Dynamiques Hybrides Les objectifs du groupe de travail commun à l'AFCET et la SEE sur les Systèmes Dynamiques Hybrides sont de favoriser les échanges entre les différents spécialistes qu'ils soient issus du monde de l'automatique continue ou de celui de l'automatique événementielle, théoricien ou praticien, universitaire ou industriel et permettre ainsi une meilleure connaissance des problèmes liés aux SDH et des solutions qui peuvent y être apportés.  

IEEE 1076.1 Working Group on Mixed-Signal Extensions to VHDL has been created with the charter to develop and to maintain analog and mixed-signal extensions to the VHDL language. These extensions enhance VHDL such that it can support the description and simulation of circuits and systems that exhibit continuous behavior over time and over amplitude.

IEEE Technical Committee on Hybrid Dynamical Systems Hybrid Dynamical Systems combine continuous-state and discrete event dynamical systems. Such systems appear frequently in engineering and are particularly evident when a system is required to operate in a number of distinct operational modes. The study of such systems requires a multidisciplinary approach using traditional control theory and computer science.

The Eurosim Technical Committee Modelica aims at the specification of a EUROSIM standard concerning a Unified Object-Oriented Language for Physical Systems Modeling. The language is called Modelica. In this way EUROSIM wants to promote cooperation between simulation language developers and the elaboration of a new obviously needed common standard suitable for modern software concepts.

The Modular Design of Hybrid Systems project develops a specification technique for the formal design and analysis by logical verification of continuous-discrete models and facilitates the modular development of distributed process control software. It is based on TLA (Temporal Logic of Actions) and concentrates on practical topics: specification language, application methods, libraries of specification patterns (particularly for control of chemical processes), and tools.

OOMS The goal of the OOMS (Object-Oriented Modeling of Continuous/Discrete Systems) project of the DLR Oberpfaffenhofen and the Process Control Laboratory at the University of Dortmund is the further development of object-oriented modeling methodologies to model and simulate complex hybrid dynamic systems. The unifying modeling language Modelica is used for model specification and the DSblock model description as the implementation platform.
