Abstract

We investigate the use of XML as an open, cross-platform, and extendable file format for the description of hierarchical simulation models, including their graphical representations, initial model conditions, and model execution algorithms. We present HiMASS-x, an XML-centered suite of software applications that allows for cross-platform, distributed modeling and execution of hierarchical, componentized, and reusable simulation models.
