Abstract :
Describes the Visual Simulation Environment (VSE) software product. VSE has been developed under $1.3 million of research funding, primarily from the US Navy, for over a decade. It enables discrete-event, general-purpose, object-oriented, picture-based, component-based, visual simulation model development and execution. This advanced environment can be used for solving complex problems in areas such as air traffic control and space systems, business process reengineering and workflows, complex system design evaluation, computer and communication networks, computer performance evaluation, education and training, health care systems, manufacturing systems, military/combat systems, satellite and wireless communications systems, service systems, supply chain management and transportation systems
