Abstract

The standard world views for discrete event simulation of event scheduling, activity scanning, and process interaction are each used for model implementation, each supported by one or more simulation programming languages. We present transformations of a model representation in one form into model representations into each of these world views. This transformation process is interesting in that 1) it requires a characterization of each of these world views and 2) it demonstrates the potential of each world view to simplify a model specification.
