Process improvement: simulations on .Net using Highpoint's HighMAST™ simulation toolkit

Published: 07 December 2003 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes the philosophy, architectures and key features of a new .Net-based simulation object model and toolkit called HighMAST™ (Highpoint Modeling and Simulation Toolkit). HighMAST™ is a set of class libraries built on top of Microsoft's .Net platform. It was built to take advantage of the object-oriented flavor and extensive integration plumbing ingrained in the .Net framework. It supports "active entity", "block-based", "workflow-oriented" and several other types of simulation architectures in both the discrete-time and continuous domains. And it enables developers to approach their simulation frameworks or applications in a wide range of languages including such inexpensive and available languages as C# and VB. Net.
