An ACSL-model translator to the neutral Fortran DSblock-model format

One problem in multidisciplinary simulation is to merge models which originate in different disciplinary environments into a common computer-executable model for computational experimenting. The paper reports on a possible solution thereof. This is based on a public-domain, application-neutral, formally defined Fortran or C format for dynamic input/output systems, called DSblock, to which “higher level” models can be translated. In particular, it is reported on A-CoSiLa, an ACSL model translator to the neutral DSblock format
