ABSTRACT

This paper introduces MultiSim, a prototype, user-oriented tool specifically designed to automate the model development process for parallel simulation models. Targeted toward the simulationist and written in Ada for high transportability among different numbers of processors, MultiSim combines discrete-event simulation knowledge, parallel programming knowledge, and target language knowledge and represents this knowledge in frame-like constructs. Through user interaction, knowledge of the system to be modeled is abstracted and a parallel Ada simulation model is automatically generated based on the knowledge resident within MultiSim.
