GENERATING SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS BASED ON MODEL DOCUMENTATIONS AND TEMPLATES

Abstract

An increasing number of approaches for specifying and executing simulation experiments emphasizes the desire to make this part of modeling and simulation studies explicit, and thus, also easier to replicate. We take this one step further by automatically generating simulation experiment specifications from documentations. Based on a template-based approach and documentations, we show how simulation experiment specifications can be generated and executed for experiments, such as statistical model checking and sensitivity analysis, and we identify crucial challenges.
