Towards the specification of simulation modeling using patterns

摘要

This paper briefly reviews the concept of patterns in software development and some recent work in applying it to simulation requirements specification (domain analysis) and design. It then examines the benefits and drawbacks of using patterns for simulation patterns from thenavle mine wafare domain. It argues that the use of existing patterns can educate novices about an application domain and that the documentation of newly identified patterns can clearly communicate assumptions made in analysis and design.
