A MicroNET application

Abstract	MicroNET is a complete network simulation system designed specifically for microcomputers. Models of a wide variety of systems can be built, simulated, and analyzed using MicroNET's network approach. A network model is a graphical representation of a problem situation, that provides input data to the system and a means for describing the problem. Models are built by describing the problem situation graphically using MicroNET modeling symbols. These symbols are linked together and provide a graphic description of the problem situation. The MicroNET symbols translate directly into input statements that are recognized by the software. The MicroNET software uses a simulation procedure to analyze the network models. This procedure involves the generation of transactions, the processing of the transactions through the network, and the collection and reporting of statistical information. The MicroNET modeler interacts with the software through the system interface. The MicroNET system interface provides a structured approach to analyzing systems using simulation. Models are built, simulated, and analyzed interactively using this interface. MicroNET divides the tasks involved in solving problems using network modeling into three subsystems: CONTROL, DEVELOPMENT, and EXECUTION. For each subsystem MicroNET provides a corresponding set of commands that perform the required tasks. To initiate any action, the user responds to a prompt from the system by entering the command for the action desired. The CONTROL subsystem provides model management assistance. It allows models to be copied, deleted, and appended to one another. Using the CONTROL subsystem commands, the MicroNET system can be tailored to utilize additional memory and a parallel printer. The DEVELOPMENT subsystem supports the creation and modification of MicroNET network models with full editing capabilities. Commands are also included to display the contents of any MicroNET model on the screen or printer. Execution and analysis of MicroNET network models is performed using the EXECUTION subsystem. Commands are available to simulate a network model and display ongoing statistical information during model execution. Statistical reports may be prepared from this subsystem and presented at the screen or printer. To describe the MicroNET approach to analyzing systems using network models we will discuss an example application. The example system is an automated inspection area. We will briefly describe the system, discuss the transition from system to model, review the model and its outputs and discuss the performance and application of the MicroNET software.
