Simulation-specific characteristics and software reuse

We argue that simulations possess interesting characteristics that facilitate adaptation. Simplifying assumptions, stochastic sampling, and event generation are common features which lend themselves to adaptation for reuse.

Description
Summary:We argue that simulations possess interesting characteristics that facilitate adaptation. Simplifying assumptions, stochastic sampling, and event generation are common features which lend themselves to adaptation for reuse. In this paper, we explore simulation-specific characteristics amenable to adaptation and the ways they can be exploited in support of reuse. Our work is of particular relevance to research in component based simulations and dynamic data driven application systems, where adaptability and reuse are essential.
