Modeling and Simulation plays an important role in how the Air
Force trains and fights. Scenarios are used in simulation to give
users the ability to specify entities and behaviors that should be
simulated by a model: however, building and understanding scenarios
can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Furthermore, as
composable simulations become more prominent, the need for a common
descriptor for simulation scenarios has become evident. In order to
reduce the complexity of creating and understanding simulation
scenarios, a visual language was created. The research on visual
languages presented in this thesis examines methods of visually
specifying the high-level behavior of entities in scenarios and how
to represent the hierarchy of the entities in scenarios. Through a
study of current behavior specification techniques and the
properties of mission-level simulation scenarios, Simulation
Behavior Specification Diagrams (SBSD) were developed to represent
the behavior of entities in scenarios. Additionally, the
information visualization technique of treemaps was adapted to
represent the hierarchy of entities in scenarios. After completing
case studies on scenarios for the OneSAF simulation model, SBSDs
and the application of treemaps to scenarios was considered
successful. SBSD diagrams accurately represented the behavior of
entities in the simulation scenarios and through software can be
converted into code for use by simulation models. The treemap
displayed the hierarchy of the entities along with information
about the relative size of the entities when applied to simulation
scenarios.
