The Design of Simulation Models Using Thought Organizers

Abstract

A new class of software has arisen. It has its evolutionary roots in word processors, but far surpasses word processing functional capabilities to manipulate the structure of ideas during the development process of written text. This class of software is called Thought Organizers. In this paper we extend the use of thought organizers to the development of simulation models. We demonstrate why and how these packages are appropriate for the design and implementation of simulation models.
