I am a student at the University of Antwerp. This page is about my master thesis, which is supervised by Prof. Hans Vangheluwe of the Modelling, Simulation and Design Lab.

This page still needs to be written. In the future I will add a description of the subject of my thesis, a planning, minutes of my meetings with Prof. Vangheluwe, etc ...

Explicit Modeling of Interactive Simulation Environments

As the use of models in industry and research increases so does the need for interactive simulation tools. Those tools become more and more complex. The situation becomes even more complex when we factor in real(wall-clock) time simulation. As complexity calls for modeling; in this thesis we model interactive simulation environments in the formalism best suited for the job. That formalism is statecharts. Our simulation tool uses models of simulators for general purpose modeling formalisms to simulate any (domain specific) model built in (/translated to) that formalism. Furthermore the simulation tool is inspired by code debugging techniques.
