Models, similar to other intellectual properties, are increasingly being treated as commodities worthy of protection. Providing ownership for models is key for promoting model reusability, composability, and distributed simulation. However, to date, it appears no principled approach has been developed to support ownership of models. Instead, individuals such as modelers and legal personnel empl...

This paper presents a component-based framework for designing simulation models and discusses its implementation in a package called Simkit. In this framework, Components are defined to be monolith software entities that interact with other components in one of only three ways. Although seemingly restrictive, this approach supports more extensibility and customization of simulation models than ...

Proceedings of the 2000 Winter Simulation Conference

This tutorial introduces some of the ideas, issues, challenges, solutions, and opportunities in deciding how to experiment with a simulation model to learn about its behavior. Careful planning, or designing, of simulation experiments is generally a great help, saving time and effort by providing efficient ways to estimate the effects of changes in the model’s inputs on its outputs. Traditional ...
