Abstract

SLX by Wolverine software is actually one of the fastest simulation languages. Besides the high performance the SLX-compiler can be extended very easily by user specific syntax rules and new basic functions. This "pyramid power" of SLX is used to build a new system for modeling and simulation --- VisualSLX. This system is a shell atop the standard SLX-compiler and the runtime system. All model and simulation data are stored in a universal database. VisualSLX could be used for a comfortable, rapid visual modeling and for remote modeling and simulation through the internet without any knowledge of the SLX-syntax and modeling paradigms. This paper reveals the architecture and the underlying data structures of the system. Additional requirements and interfaces are caused by the application of VisalSLX as a web-based modeling and simulation system.
