Abstract:
Recent developments in computational science and engineering allow a great deal of experimental work to be
conducted through computer simulation. In a simulation experiment, a model of the phenomena to be studied
is run in a computing environment under varying model and environment settings. As models are adjusted
to experimental procedures and execution environments, variations arise. Models also evolve in time. Thus,
models must be managed. We propose to bring Global Model Management (GMM) to bear on simulation
experiment management by using techniques and tools from megamodeling. The proposed approach will
facilitate model management tasks by providing an interface to query the model repository, relate models
with each other, and apply model transformations from/to simulation models. Our proposed Megamodel for
Simulation Experiments is based on SED-ML (Simulation Experiment Description Markup Language).
