Abstract :
The paper discusses the application of the P.T. Ward and S.J. Mellor (1986) structured development techniques for real-time systems to the field of simulation. The tools and heuristics used by Ward and Mellor are extended to provide a useful approach to the design of real-time simulations. This is illustrated by the example of a real-time simulation of a manufacturing plant and process control system
