An integrated modeling environment based on attributed graphs and graph-grammars

摘要

Different types of graphs are widely used to represent many types of management science models. Examples include vehicle routing, production planning, simulation and decision trees. In previous work, the author has developed tools and techniques based on graph-grammars to provide interfaces for such models. In this paper, we explore several such models with particular emphasis on integrating different graph-based models within a single environment. It is shown how the environment can combine a variety of visual models in different ways.
