Towards a Family of Pattern Languages for Simulation Software Design

After some introductory comments on the nature and purpose of simulation a number of relevant frameworks are briefly described based on their dominant abstractions. Although this discussion makes use of patterns from the domain of discrete event simulation the general principles have much wider applicability. The paper concludes with a summary of benefits of pattern languages for simulation and their potential impact on component reuse. KEY WORDS: object-oriented simulation, discrete event simulation programs, pattern languages, reusable application frameworks
