Abstract :
Airbase logistics simulation analyses have historically been done using large monolithic software models, which are not well documented in terms of algorithms used, have no user friendly interfaces, provide little in the way of postprocessing and graphical display of simulation results, and allow limited flexibility to modify the algorithms. The Integrated Model Development Environment (IMDE) addresses these problems using object-oriented design and rapid prototyping philosophies. The environment is written in C++, the simulation elements are written in MODSIM II and stored using the VERSANT object-oriented database management system (OODBMS), and the user interface is designed iteratively using devGuide from Sun Microsystems
