Abstract

This paper presents an overview of a software design framework for the development of object-oriented simulations. The framework is documented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and is divided into packages to organize the collection of classes into important functional areas. The purpose of the framework is two-fold. First, the framework is useful in understanding the concepts and abstractions within simulation modeling and languages. Secondly, the framework can serve as the basis for the development of object-oriented simulation libraries. We illustrate the latter through a Java implementation.
