Multifaceted, multiparadigm modeling perspectives: tools for the 90's

ABSTRACT

Multiplicities of perspective inherent in modelling and simulation methodology are enumerated and rationales given for their existence. Characteristics of futuristic simulation environments which support flexible adoption of multiple perspectives are outlined. Finally, we discuss the construction of models which simultaneously embody differing perspectives. Advances in modelling methodology along these lines will constitute a quantum leap in tool sophistication which can greatly extend the domain of simulation application.
