ABSTRACT
The software R-TRANSFORM converts a conventional simulation model into a simulation model of the same system including one or more computers that apply the simulation model during the system operation in order to anticipate the near future and - according to the anticipation - to enhance the system efficiency. Simulation programming tools enable their users to describe the simulated system but not to program what should happen in the computer: the description is then automatically converted into the computer code. R-TRANSFORM enables an automatic nesting of one description of the simulated system into the other one, so that the model nesting is safe against a possible programming error that mixes both the descriptions. Simple applications of nesting of models are mentioned.

Super-object-oriented programming and simulation
ICCOMP'08: Proceedings of the 12th WSEAS international conference on ComputersThe progress in computer simulation tends to simulate complex systems governed by "internal models", i.e. sophisticated activities of computing technique in real time flow. Independently of that, computer simulation needs the object-oriented programming ...
A contribution to simulation of information systems
ACMOS'10: Proceedings of the 12th WSEAS international conference on Automatic control, modelling & simulationThe paper is oriented to a special way of solving a certain contradiction present in the simulation of the information systems: on one hand the information system is a complex and rich physical object existing in time and composed of physical units (...
Education and training in computer simulation: a way to nested simulation
CompSysTech '04: Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Computer systems and technologiesThis paper deals first with the results of training students in computer simulation at the Computer Science Department of the University of Ostrava during the last 15 years. Education and training in computer simulation are based on an obligatory course ...
