Abstract

A prototype simulation software development environment (SSDE) has been developed at Texas A&M University as a means of providing a flexible system for the development of simulation software. It utilizes an underlying structure composed of a series of data bases and a language. This framework provides the means of hiding the file system, hiding the development support tools, and automating the transition between the different phases of development. The prototype SSDE includes several tools developed specifically to support simulation programming. This paper presents the rationale for software development environments and gives an overview of the prototype which has been constructed.
