术语“仿真模型重用”可以用来表示从小部分代码的重用、通过组件重用到完整模型的重用的各种事情。在更抽象的层次上，组件设计、模型设计和建模知识是重用的主要候选者。仿真模型的重用特别有吸引力，基于直观的论点，它应该减少模型开发的时间和成本。然而，在与四位模拟建模专家的讨论中，提出了一些问题，这意味着这些好处可能无法获得。这些问题包括开发可重用模型的动机、可重用模型的有效性和可信度，以及熟悉模型的成本和时间。提出了一种替代的仿真方法，这可能会更好地借给自己的模型重用。(C)2004 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
The term 'simulation model reuse' can be taken to mean various things from the reuse of small portions of code, through component reuse, to the reuse of complete models. On a more abstract level, component design, model design and modelling knowledge are prime candidates for reuse. The reuse of simulation models is especially appealing, based on the intuitive argument that it should reduce the time and cost for model development. In a discussion with four simulation modelling experts, however, a number of issues were raised that mean these benefits may not be obtainable. These issues include the motivation to develop reusable models, the validity and credibility of models to be reused, and the cost and time for familiarisation. An alternative simulation methodology was proposed, that may lend itself better to model reuse. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
