Abstract

This paper is a case study description of the major techniques used in the design of a Search and Rescue (SAR) model, how the methods contribute to flexibility, and how these software engineering principles relate to a formal methodology (Zeigler 1987) that has been proposed specifically for simulation development. The techniques described in this paper can be used with any of the common simulation languages (e.g., SIMAN, GPSSH, SLAM II, and SIMSCRIPT II.5).
