Generic Simulator Environment for Realistic Simulation

摘要

Simulation is usually used as an evaluation and test system. Many sectors are concerned such as European Space Agency or the European Defence. It's important to be sure that the project is error-free in order to continue. The difficulty is to develop a realistic environment for the simulation and the execution of a scenario. This paper presents Paloma, a Generic Simulator Environment, This project is based essantially on the Chaos Theory and Complex Systems to create and direct an environment for a simulation. An important point is the genetics. Paloma could create an environment for different sectors (Aero-space, Biology, Mathematic,...). Paloma includes six components : the Simulation Engine, the Direction Module, the Environment Generator, the Natural Behavior Restriction, the Communication API and the User API. Three languages are used to develop this simulator, Scheme for the Direction language, C/C++ for the development of modules and Oz/Mozart for the heart of Paloma.
