Hierarchical, modular specification of discrete-event models offers a basis for reusable model bases and hence for enhanced simulation of truly varied design alternatives. The authors describe an environment which realizes the DEVS formalism developed for hierarchical, modular models. It is implemented in PC-Scheme, a powerful Lisp dialect for microcomputers containing an object-oriented programming subsystem. Since both the implementation and the underlying language are accessible to the user, the result is a capable medium for combining simulation modelling and artificial intelligence techniques.
