The goal of this project is to develop a component based simulation environment consisting of infrastructure, component framework and libraries as well as a composition tool. We expect to be able to improve simulation system development by combining an interactive composition tool with flexible software architecture and building blocks of different abstraction layers.
The development process resembles a modeling and design approach and a component based software development approach in a synergistic way. We employ the system theoretic simulation modeling methodology (DEVS) as formal, mathematical foundations for modular, hierarchical modeling and simulation and a component based software architecture on the basis of Java and JavaBeans.

Englische Kurzfassung:
The goal of this project has been twofold:
* Component-based software development: Studying Java/JavaBeans technology and analysing bean builder tools
* Modeling and Simulation: Simulation development by modular, hierarchical composition of components that adhere to a framework
We have employed the system theoretic simulation modeling methodology (DEVS) as formal, mathematical foundations for modular, hierarchical modeling and simulation and a component based software architecture on the basis of Java and JavaBeans.
This project has jointly been done in cooperation with the Department of Systems Theory and Information Engineering of the Institute for Systems Science.
