Abstract :
Simulation packages do not provide an effective infrastructure for reusing models, but reuse will become a reality as more tools provide database capabilities and other features. The article describes a framework of requirements needed to support simulation model reusability and summarizes the most critical areas for improvement in the current generation of graphical simulation environments.<>
