Homme: A Modelling Environment for Multiple Applications
Manuel Rodríguez, Ricardo Sanz · International Journal of Modelling and Simulation · 2001
This article focuses on the modelling of complex industrial systems. Primarily, it establishes a new approach to the construction and maintenance of models using a modelling environment. The authors define the modelling environment concept and show the architecture, structure, and components of a new one called HOMME. The main components of the environment are the language, the structures that support the construction of the models, and the object-oriented database that allows the manipulation of complex models in order to retrieve the piece of information that is needed. An example of this is presented along with a description of the modelling environment, demonstrating the availability of a single model that can be used for multiple purposes or applications.
