Abstract: |
This paper
describes possibilities of the BETA language and simulation class BetaSIMULATION
essentially enlarging the existing BetaSIM discrete event simulation
framework (Kreutzer and Osterbye 1998), (Osterbye and Kreutzer 1999), which
enables the BETA language to be used as an agent based simulation language. The BetaSIM framework was designed to support queuing scenarios based
on processes, in which a special attention is paid to providing abstractions
that allow to specify synchronization between
processes in a simulation model. The concepts used in BetaSIMULATION are
inherited from Simula and enable thus extension of the original BetaSIM framework
towards agent based simulation. Specific intention of BetaSIMULATION is to
exploit BetaSIM for more complex simulation tasks such as reflective simulation,
described in (Kindler et al. 2003), (Kindler at al. 2004), using in this way
many BETA’s unique features. |
