Studying a system using discrete-event computer simulations implies several activities: conceptual model speci cation, software model architecture description, software development, simulation scenario, instrumentation, experimentation planning, computational resources con guration, execution, post-processing and analysis, validation and veri...

In this paper, we introduce new techniques in the field of simulation to help in the process of building advanced simulation scenarios using preexisting simulation components. The first technique consists in using the Aspect Oriented Programming paradigm to capture some of the private data of an existing model component. The second one is an...

OSA (Open Simulation Architecture) is a collaborative platform for component-based discrete-event simulation. It has been created to support both M&S studies and research on M&S techniques and methodology. The OSA project started from the observation that despite no single simulation software seems to be perfect, most of the elements required...

ADL are particularly well suited for component-based model frameworks that support hierarchical composition, such as DEVS with coupled models. In this paper we present some features found in the ADL of another hierarchical component model, namely the Fractal Component Model (FCM). To our best knowledge, these features are not yet available in...

The development of M&S products often seems to be driven by need: people start coding because they are interested in either a concrete simulation study, or they are interested in a (single) research subject of M&S methodology. We claim that discussing, designing, developing, and comparing M&S products should be based on software engineering...

Many discrete-event simulators are developed concurrently, but with identical or similar purpose. This poster presents the Open Simulation Architecture (OSA), a discrete-event component-based simulation platform whose goal is to favor the reuse and integration of simulation software components and models. To favor reuse, OSA uses a layered...

In most existing simulators, the outputs of a simulation run consist either in a simulat ion report generated at the end of the run and summarizing the statistics of interest, or in a (set of) trace file(s) containing raw data samples produced and saved regularly during the run, for later post-processing. In this paper, we address issues...
