Abstract:

Simulation-Based Early Warning Systems provide opportunities to control and analyze material flow systems by forecasting future system states. For this purpose a flexible reporting and extracting of simulation results respectively is essential but not supported by simulation tools in a standardized and simulator-independent way. There is a variety of general communication methods to

exchange results with non-simulation applications (e.g. Simulation-Based Early Warning Systems). Nevertheless the data structure and representation have to be

described for every isolated case.

This article presents a solution approach to enable flexible generation of reports via XML and XSLT. For this reason an XML schema definition used for defining

variable calculation rules is described and its implementation in representative simulation tools is pointed up as well as the link to simulation-based early warning systems.
