Incorporating support for model execution within the condition specification
Ernest H. Page, Richard E. Nance · 1999
The Condition Specification, a language designed to permit automated simulation model diagnosis, is reviewed and the incorporation of support for model execution within the Condition Specification is described. Condition Specification semantics are revised to facilitate model execution and algorithms for the direct execution of graphical model forms are presented. Implications for both single processor and multiprocessor execution are considered.
