Abstract
Flexibility in developing and testing operating policies for manufacturing systems requires the ability to quickly and easily change a simulation model to incorporate the new policy. To achieve this goal, the model of the system control strategy should be separated from the model of the physical system. Using a flexible manufacturing cell as an example, we first show how this separation can be accomplished, and then discuss desirable features in a language that would simplify the approach
