Abstract
This paper is an attempt to transfer some results in the meta-theory of conceptual modeling of software systems to discrete event simulation modeling. We present
Highlights
- using an ontologically well-founded modeling language seems to be even more relevant for simulation engineering than for software system engineering
- DES is the most fundamental simulation paradigm
- both UML and BPMN, with suitable modifications and enhancements based on their ontological analysis and im- provement, have a high potential as simulation modeling languages.
