| Abstract: | The novel process modeling tool PROMOT supports the object-oriented modeling of chemical processes for the simulation environment DIVA. In PROMOT, differential-algebraic process models can be built by aggregating structural and behavioral modeling entities that represent the topological structure or the dynamic and steady-state behavior, respectively, of the investigated chemical processes. Process models and their modeling entities may be defined either in an object-oriented modeling language or with a graphical user interface. This paper discusses the modeling concept, the modeling language, the knowledge representation aspects, and the implementation of PROMOT. |
