MODEL REPRESENTATION IN DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION: THE CONICAL METHODOLOGY
1981
Beginning with a brief review and classification of model development approaches, we characterize the simulation model life cycle
as comprised of seven phases:
the conceptual model, the communicative
model, the programmed model, the experimental model, model results, use of the model for integrated decision support, and the modification and
extension of of the model.
This characterization places severe
requirements on the task of model management (creation, acceptance, use,
revision or extension,
and reuse).
The Conical methodology has been developed in response
to the needs that
predominate the model
development
phases (from conceptual
model
to model
results).
Definitions used in the Conical Methodology are explained, and the approach is illustrated with a machine repairman example. An incomplete critigue of the result and the approach concludes the paper.
