Abstract

The successful practice of simulation requires a number of capabilities; two key capabilities are creating a conceptual model of the system to be simulated, and translating the conceptual model to a computational process or simulation program. We describe how OMG's new graphical systems modeling language, OMG SysML™ (OMG 2009), can be used to create a conceptual model, and how this conceptual model can be translated automatically to a simulation program. In demonstrating the process, we use Arena™ as the target simulation language, but the concepts presented are quite general.
