CONCEPTS FOR ADVANCED SIMULATION METHODOLOGIES

Conventional simulation techniques have three shortcomings when applied to large-scale modeling: They provide an inadequate man-machine interface, they provide a poor conceptual framework, and they lack needed tools for managing data and model. These shortcomings may be ameliorated by developing new simulation languages that differentiate the functional elements of simulation programs and by recognizing the goals of these functional elements. This paper provides concepts for the design and implementation of such advanced simulation methodologies.
