Abstract:

A system, method, and computer program product for configuring a network abstraction for simulation. Relationships between network models in the network abstraction are described in a network specification. A simulation infrastructure is adapted to configure the relationships between network models specified in the network specification. The simulation infrastructure is designed to acquire the network specification during run-time, access configuration, relationship parameterization, and execution APIs of model instances during run-time. Network models are designed to acquire access to modeling-specific APIs of other model instances during run-time in order to establish relationships specified in the network specification.
