Towards Semantic Composition of Event-Based Simulation

Abstract

Extensible and maintainable designed software architecture allows creating sustainable and robust software systems. Instead of programming each variant of an architecture to analyze different quality aspects simulation is used. Simulation allows coping with many different architectures without losing time and money in actually implementing each individually. But simulations usually are not developed to be extensible or maintainable. In this paper, we describe problems that arise when simulations are developed in a modular way and propose an approach how these problems can be addressed.
