Business Process Modeling and Analysis

The data-handling capabilities of a commercial data base management system (DBMS) are used to control the information flow in a sequential modular steady-state process simulator. Thus, a new structure for the execution of this type of simulators is presented, in which executable program using a rigid agenda from a command file are called sequentially to reduce the amount of main memory occupied during the execution. All the executable programs, representing the basic simulation modules, recover information from the data base and return the new information generated through a common procedure.
