Abstract

The theory of modeling and simulation is well defined in result of about 30 years of research and practice. There are commonly accepted approaches and methods of working out successful simulation studies (see track "Simulation Basics" in Winter Simulation Conference 1999). The educational aspects of simulation are very complicated: there is no common accepted curriculum, nor a basic textbook. The situation at the web is even much worse --- mainly as a result of missing time-resources the quality of the teaching material concerning simulation is very heterogeneous and does not fit. Often the work of producing teaching materials and exercises is done twice. The goal of this paper is to present a real working database system for managing links and generating collections of simulation related material for teaching and learning purposes.
