This paper discusses a new simulation and control prototype software package that can be employed as a controller for a simple FMS. In developing this software, we attempted to achieve a compromise between the program ming flexibility of a general-purpose language like C++ and the convenience of a simulation language like SIMAN (see Pegden et al. [ 1995]). In particular, we desire to provide standard programming features within the model such as recursive function calls while providing a single model which can be used to simulate and control a real-world system. To test the efficacy of the developed simulation tool, we developed a simulation model which can control a physical emulator of an FMS which has been constructed in our research laboratory.
