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. |
