Rule-Based Simulation Models

This paper describes procedural modeling systems, rule-based modeling systems and a method for converting a procedural model to a rule-based model. Simulation models are used to represent real-time engineering systems. A real-time system can be represented by a set of equations or functions connected so that they perform in the same manner as the actual system. When the real-time system is being modeled, the modeler will have to code the system's calculations and characteristics using some computer language or modeling tool.
