Design of an integrated simulation modeling environment using a relational database framework

摘要: Discrete simulation is a powerful modeling tool which has usually demanded computer programming skills on the part of systems analyst. Efforts to remove burden from analyst have led series languages that partly cooperate with in some phases process. This dissertation presents design an integrated environment emphasizes aspects by providing support throughout all It incorporates relational database provide storage support, facilitate description manufacturing models and allow interaction other information systems. Likewise, it also describes partial implementation structured prototype includes analysis input data, model definition execution. The use CASE technology tool, ORACLE, made possible prove feasibility life-cycle oriented environment, independence integration. Components generic station are stored independent tables upon hierarchical structure been imposed. Cross reference act as links between described elements particular model. C-based interacts directly through embedded SQL statements; thus, making commercial RDBMS. Extensive windowing menu-driven techniques ease user environment.
