A tutorial on ProSim: a knowledge-based simulation model design tool

The paper introduces ProSim, a knowledge based simulation design tool that automatically generates simulation models from process models. Domain experts who are familiar with the various aspects of the system may be interviewed and process models can be developed based on the evidence collected using ProSim. The built-in simulation design support environment of ProSim enables building simulation models automatically from process models. A purchase order processing system example is described to demonstrate the utility of ProSim
