Package jasi.sim.basic.element Description

Management of simulation elements.

Simulation elements are persistent simulation objects, which might be deleted (destroyed) at some later time. The state of a simulation element is represented by its attributes. Although an element's state changes over time, its existance does not implicitly depend on the simulation time.

In addition to its state an element usually possesses a behaviour. The behaviour is represented by implementing interfaces, where simulation models can act on, to change the element's state. The main responsibility of these interfaces is the mapping of a simulation element's behaviour to state changes as well as element's states to different kinds of behaviour. In this framework the access to the element's state and the interfaces for their behaviour are seperated by use of class inheritance.
