PML-AN OBJECT-ORIENTED LANGUAGE FOR MODELING AUTOMATION

摘要

To cope with the growing demands for simulation models of ever increasing complex industrial systems, the research community effort has been mainly focused in creating different software tools which simplify the modeling process. This work describes how the Object-Oriented Modeling language PML (Physical Modeling Language) automates the modeling process by using physical knowledge in order to set the mathematical model of the system. PML introduces new modular structures to represent the physical knowledge required to model a system, making a clear separation between the physical behaviour representation (declarative knowledge) and the computational aspects of model simulation (procedural knowledge).
