1. What have the authors contributed in "Process modeling for simulation" ?

This paper discusses shortfalls in relation to the requirements gathering phases of simulation.. This is surprising as it has been reported by several researchers that the requirements phase can absorb twice as much resources as the coding phase.. This paper provides a selective review of some of the most important in relation to simulation.. A conclusion from this review is that none of the tools available adequately supports the requirements gathering phase of simulation.. The design objectives in the development of the tool are: ( 1 ) It should be capable of capturing a detailed description of a Discrete Event System ; ( 2 ) It should have a low modeling burden and therefore be capable of being used by non specialists ; ( 3 ) It should present modeling information at a high semantic level so that manufacturing personnel can rationalize with it ; ( 4 ) It should have good visualization capabilities ; ( 5 ) It should support project teamwork.. Based on these design objectives a proposed simulation process modeling tool called Simulation Activity Diagrams ( SAD ) is presented.

2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Process modeling for simulation" ?
