Abstract

The paper discusses the model specification, construction of the executable model, model execution, and the simulation results of a simulation model of a surveillance radar data processing system that was developed using the Hierarchical Modeling and Simulation System (HI-MASS). HI-MASS is an object oriented C++ based system that supports model specification (modeling) using the Hierarchical Control Flow Graph Model paradigm and executes simulation models using the sequential synchronous simulation execution algorithm. Models specified in this model paradigm use two complementary hierarchical specification structures, one to specify the model components and their interconnections and the other to specify the behaviors of the individual components. The components and their interconnections are specified in HI-MASS via visual interactive modeling
