Definitions and Semantic Simulations Based on Object-Oriented Analysis and Modeling
This work addresses the need for more dynamic and executable models in semantic modeling, though it appears incremental by building on object-oriented analysis.
The paper tackles the problem of modeling complex systems by proposing executable semantic models using programming languages, applied to examples like a waterfall and the cardiopulmonary system to enable direct representation.
We have proposed going beyond traditional ontologies to use rich semantics implemented in programming languages for modeling. In this paper, we discuss the application of executable semantic models to two examples, first a structured definition of a waterfall and second the cardiopulmonary system. We examine the components of these models and the way those components interact. Ultimately, such models should provide the basis for direct representation.
