Abstract:

Simulation model composability is a highly debated issue, especially the specific requirements of model components as compared to software components.

Selected software component techniques are reviewed and adapted according to simulation models needs. Standard technologies like UML and XML are exploited to form the basis for a specification layer that wraps model definitions. This layer accounts for explicit dependencies, compositions, and parameterization of simulation models. Thereby, the specification of model components can be done in a platform and simulation system independent manner. For the purpose of

simulation a mapping to a concrete modeling formalism becomes necessary. This is here done on the example of the Parallel DEVS formalism.
