ABSTRACT: This paper provides an overview of the plenary presentation. It addresses the complexity of modern engineering systems and discusses simulation modeling techniques that can assists in the design of such systems. An approach for constructing and testing virtual design models prior to realization commitments is shown. This approach leverages from object-oriented and discrete-event simulation methods. Concepts for system level automation of the design process will be given and examples that range from embedded systems applications to high level symbolic visualizations will be discussed to support the theory-based concepts.
