Abstract

As discrete simulation software gets easier to use it is tempting to assume that modelling also gets easier, unfortunately this is not the case. This paper suggests some simple principles of modelling that can be easily applied in discrete simulation, whether the model is implemented in a visual interactive modelling system or in a programming language. The modelling principles are used to suggest desirable features that might be included in simulation software.
