Toward a standard process: the use of UML for designing simulation models

Designing complex simulation models is a task essentially associated with software engineering. In this paper, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to specify simulation models. It is shown that, similar to the "Unified Process" in software engineering, such a methodology forms a sound base for developing complex simulation models. An example is provided to illustrate how this approach supports the design process.
