Abstract
Model-based simulation support systems aim to provide comprehensive and integrated support of the activities comprising the modelling and simulation enterprise. This chapter discusses several formal structures underlying the design of such support systems including the composition tree, system entity structure, and experimental frame. An example based on Elzas1 model-based negotiation methodology is employed to illustrate the system-theoretic concepts under discussion.
