Scenario-driven composition of context-aware simulation components

Component-based modeling and simulation brings a number of advantages to large-scale, complex simulation. How to achieve higher level composability in model composition proves to be more and more important. Based on pragmatic composability analysis, an Extended Finite State Machine-based Context-Aware simulation component formal description was proposed, including the context constraints and conditions of simulation environment. An integrated progress of component composition was proposed, and the relationship among model discovery, composition verification, simulation running and simulation context was considered. Furthermore, the prototype system to actually practice this methodology was developed. Analysis showed scenario driven context-aware component composition method was able to automatically discover large numbers of components needed for a simulation on pragmatic level, which is of great help for rapid configuration of simulation environment.
