If there exists a minimization method of DEVS in terms of behavioral equivalence, it will be very useful for analysis of huge and complex DEVS models. This paper shows a polynomial-time state minimization method for a class of DEVS, called schedule-preserved DEVS (SP-DEVS) whose states are finite. We define the behavioral equivalence of SP-DEVS and propose two algorithms of compression and clustering operation which are used in the minimization method.
