Abstract

The usefulness of software frameworks to support the development of military combat simulations is gaining attention. Using a framework increases model reuse and can avoid the duplication of infrastructure code used to support model and simulation application development. Simulation frameworks encourage defining abstractions for the domain of interest, which allow for multiple concrete (i.e., specific) implementations of models at varying levels of fidelity, resolution and/or detail to be produced and assembled. This flexibility leads to customized simulation applications that are focused and aligned to an envisioned conceptual model of a system of interest. However, the difference between a framework and a specific simulation application, and its relationship to experimentation is not always clear. This paper elaborates on these distinctions and addresses how software frameworks support experimental objectives.
