Abstract

How to generate a new suitable reusable model from previous reusable model is a key issue in model reuse. Traditional model reuse focus much on how a specific function model to be reused in new applications, however, lacks consideration about reusability efficiency of reusable simulation models of the same class. Some models compose of similar computational functions with different combination, they have to be programmed and VV&A repeatedly, which cause unnecessary development cost. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a parameter-configurable structure for the same class reusable simulation model. Based on the structure, this paper designed and implemented a configurable tool for generating reusable simulation models of the same class, and diversiform simulation model products can be configured to generate satisfying different requirement. The tool gives a pragmatic technical means to develop reusable models, which proved to be an efficient solution to avoid repeat modeling and help reduce cost when developing new simulation applications.
