Simulation of UML models using ARENA
نویسندگان
چکیده
While developing new business systems and reengineering already existing ones, many organizations use the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to design a system’s structure and describe system’s behaviour. In spite of describing system’s behaviour with the UML model, the model itself is static. UML does not provide a possibility of running the model and studying the system’s behaviour. In such a situation the necessity arises to simulate the UML model. To provide that possibility, the designed UML diagrams could be transformed into a simulation model to be run within a specialized simulation environment. The paper discusses a transformation of that kind using the Arena simulation environment. Key-Words: Simulation, Arena, UML modelling, transformation of models

A Comparison of Job-Shop and Group Technology Using Simulation by ARENA
Production planning is performed through diverse methods according to the type of the system it is structured upon. One of the most important steps before production planning is to determine which system best fits the firm, and how the facilities should be designed. Both job-shop and group-technology systems have their own pros and cons, each of which is suitable to a specific kind of factory. ...

This ability in fuzzy UML, practically leaves the customers and market’s need without response in this important and vital area. Here, the available sequence diagrams in fuzzy UML will map into fuzzy Petri net. However, the formal models ability will be added to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. This formalization will add the automatic processing ability to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. Further more, t...
متن کاملAspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation
With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...

Abstract Simulation software enables to build and process FMS models to analyse different aspects of the system operation. Such models, verified in simulation experiments, are ready to be used for FMS control to calculate control decisions. The idea of using simulation software Arena to control FMS is presented in the paper. Basic characteristic of modelling and simulation in Arena is presented...
