An international group leaded by Prof. B. Zeigler is trying to develop standards for a computer processable representation of DEVS. The commitee is discuss standarization to support common understanding, sharing and interoperability of DEVS implementations.

At present, a number of activities had been carried out, and new ones have been planned for the near future:

. A meeting is planned for the Winter Simulation Conference (www.wintersim.org), December 9-12, Arlington, VA.
. The first official meeting will be held at SISO Spring Interoperability Workshop (http://www.sisostds.org/siw/02Spring/index.htm), Orlando, Florida, USA, March 10-15, 2002.
. A new meeting is planned for 2002 AI, Simulation and Planning In High Autonomy Systems-AIS'2002 (http://ais2002.dei.uc.pt/)Lisbon, Portugal April 7-10, 2002 (the call for papers for this conference has been extended recently).
