Abstract

Working from the background of simulation language developments, we develop an understanding of the current status of simulation model development. Factors characterizing the current status include a shift in emphasis from program to model, more commitment to modeling tools, and the lingering impedance of simulation language isolation. Current and future needs are identified. Specific approaches to meeting these needs are cited in an extensive description of current research, and in summary we conclude that the technology of simulation model deyelopment is in a transitional period that portends more rapid changes for the future.
