“…Some simulation projects have extended their support to include requirements models and transformations. SeSAm, for example, provides UML extensions (SeSAmUML [Oechslein et al 2001]) for specifying agent behavior. Xholon transforms UML specifications to a Java simulation implementation [Webb 2005].…”

Agent-based business process simulation has grown in popularity, in part because of its analysis capabilities. The analyses depend on the kinds of simulations that can be built, adapted, and extended, which in turn depend on the underlying simulation framework. We report the results of our analysis of 19 agent-based process simulation tools and their simulation frameworks. We conclude that a growing number of simulation tools are using component-based software techniques. Nevertheless, most simulation tools do not directly support requirements models, their transformation into executable simulations, or the management of model variants over time. Such practices are becoming more widely applied in software engineering under the term software product line engineering (SPLE). Based on our analysis, agent-based process simulation tools may improve their customization capacity by: (1) supporting object modeling more completely and (2) supporting software product line engineering issues.

“…It was specifically designed for researchers having little or no software programming background. SeSAm provides UML extensions (SeSAmUML [Oechslein et al 2001]). As with all projects surveyed, SeSAm does not address a specification nor a metalanguage approach to managing artifact variants [Pohl et al 2005].…”

“…UML es un lenguaje válido para representar lo que hemos venido llamando "implementación" (véase la figura 4). El uso de UML en la descripción de implementaciones multiagentes puede mejorar el entendimiento del modelo, por ejemplo, con los diagramas de actividad y de secuencia para representar el comportamiento de los agentes y sus interacciones (Oechslein et al, 2001). Sin embargo, no es apropiado para capturar el modelo conceptual.…”
