  • Method for flexible simulation modeling of multi-component systems using a global mailbox to facilitate communication between discrete component models
    Patent number: 5881270
    Abstract: A methodology for allowing component models to be developed independently and allowing a user to select and connect a set of models into a desired multi-component configuration at run-time. The component models are built free from inter-model dependencies, thereby enhancing flexibility and reuse. The component models conform to a standard interface for initialization (prior to simulation run) and inter-model communication (prior to and during a simulation run).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 9, 1999
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Bruce Lee Worthington, Colette Mary Donnelly
