Abstract

The Activity Cycle Diagrams are a simple notation tomodel discrete-event simulation systems. Its informalitymakes it very useful when communicating the model tonon-specialists; however, it also makes the automaticcode generation very difficult. Some extensions have beenproposed to augment the representation power of ACDand some formalization has been suggested to enableautomatic translation to program. Java is becoming awidespread object oriented programming language. Wepresent an automatic translation from an extended ACDto a Java program. The translator has been successfullyused in a groupware for simulation developmentenvironment named GroupSim.
