Abstract

The paper introduces the Visual Simulation Environment (VSE)-a new technology in visual simulation created as a result of experimental research for over a decade. Computer-aided support throughout the entire model development life cycle is required to manage the ever-increasing complexity of (visual) simulation modeling. Ongoing research since 1983 has sought to provide such support in the form of a computer-aided simulation model development environment. Based on the experience gained from two major prototype environments, the production version has been under development since August 1992. The current status of the VSE is presented.
