✦ Synopsis

This paper presents

concepts and tools for simulation softwares specification. At an abstract level of specification, we define a simulation software as a couple (conceptual structure, abstract machine). The conceptual structure is a structured representation of the simulated system behaviour. The abstract machine is a set of abstract and general mechanisms able to carry out the management of a system defined through its conceptual schema. We focus in the paper on concepts for behaviour structuring and abstract machine toots.
