Abstract

The computer system representation problem arises whenever a simulation designer attempts to derive knowledge necessary to faithfully model a computer system. The attendant time and effort expended in gaining that knowledge is often significant with respect to the total amount of time and effort relegated to simulation model construction. This paper argues for a standardized method of representing computer systems and provides some criteria for defining such a representation. Some attempts at a solution to the problem are briefly surveyed.
