Abstract :
Since the early development of computer simulation, knowledge constructs have played a major role in model construction and simulation analysis. This is the case for both discrete and continuous simulation. This study is an ongoing effort to explore the development and utilization of knowledge and information constructs in modeling and simulation. Effective knowledge management is the key to the success of every complex organization. This study hopes to improve the knowledge transfer potential of modeling and simulation through an investigation of the primary knowledge constructs used in simulation models. This can lead to improvements in teaching modeling and simulation and contribute to the broader knowledge management process.
