REVISED SUBMISSION FOR SPECIAL ISSUE ON MODEL SPECIFICATION & REPRESENTATION for ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation A Visual Object-Oriented Multimodeling Design Approach for Physical Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a design approach for structuring multimodels in an object-oriented framework for physical modeling. This approach is termed object-oriented physical modeling (OOPM). Multimodels have played a key role in permitting a model designer to construct large-scale dynamical models. We have built upon earlier work in multimodeling by specifying how multimodels are deened for object-oriented model designs. The object-oriented approach permits class reusability and a more eecient method for designing multimodels. By using basic physical categories, such as point-mass and many-particle system as metaphors, we explain the use of this new approach to modeling.

Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...
متن کاملConsidering Uncertainty in Modeling Historical Knowledge
Simplifying and structuring qualitatively complex knowledge, quantifying it in a certain way to make it reusable and easily accessible are all aspects that are not new to historians. Computer science is currently approaching a solution to some of these problems, or at least making it easier to work with historical data. In this paper, we propose a historical knowledge representation model takin...
متن کاملA Multi-Formalism Modeling Framework: Formal Definitions, Model Composition and Solution Strategies
In this paper, we present a multi-formalism modeling framework (abbreviated by MFMF) for modeling and simulation. The proposed framework is defined based on the concepts of meta-models and uses object-orientation to overcome the complexities and to enhance the extensibility. The framework can be used as a basis for modeling by various formalisms and to support model composition in a unified man...

متن کاملSUBMISSION FOR SPECIAL ISSUE ON COMPUTER SIMULATION for IIE Transactions on IE Research A Taxonomy for Simulation Modeling Based on Programming Language Principles
We present a new modeling taxonomy for computer simulation. The importance of this work centers on a cohesive approach to modeling that attempts to unify heretofore disparate modeling techniques. For example, while there exists a taxonomy for discrete event simulation, this taxonomy does not incorporate models whose execution is via continuous time increment. The modeling taxonomy has a similar...
