Welcome to the Sim-Diasca 2.4.7 Documentation Overview Page
Public Version
We recommend to have a look at the Sim-Diasca General-Purpose Presentation first, in order to discover the engine.
Afterwards, one may refer to the installation guide below.
Alternatively, much shorter versions thereof are:
- either to follow these quickstart instructions:
# Ensure that a recent Erlang version is installed, then: $ git clone https://github.com/Olivier-Boudeville-EDF/Sim-Diasca.git $ cd Sim-Diasca && make test
- or to have a look at the streamlined executable procedure on which we rely for continuous integration
The following public documentation for Sim-Diasca version 2.4.7 is available from here:
| The Sim-Diasca Technical Manual | The richest detailed source of information regarding the engine (except the code itself of course). | [html] | [pdf] |
| The Sim-Diasca Installation Guide | A much detailed installation walkthrough, if needed. | [html] | [pdf] |
| The Sim-Diasca Modeller Guide | Hints to better design simulation models. | [html] | [pdf] |
| The Sim-Diasca Developer Guide | General recommendations when developing services offered by the engine (also applicable for model implementation). | [html] | [pdf] |
| The Sim-Diasca Dataflow HOWTO | For the very specific use cases where a dataflow paradigm would be more suitable than a multi-agent one. | [html] | [pdf] |
| The Sim-Diasca Coupling HOWTO | When having to couple third-party models, instead of writing them directly as Sim-Diasca ones. | [html] | [pdf] |
Seasoned Sim-Diasca users may just bookmark the Sim-Diasca Cheat Sheet.
As an example, this IFL2021 article discusses an application case (the ACME simulator) and, starting from its section 5, offers a walk-through of the full corresponding software stack. See also this overview of the metaprogramming taking place with Sim-Diasca.
One may also be interested in the interface of the public main project and in its wiki.
A mirrored documentation of the lower layers used by Sim-Diasca is available from here as well:
| The Traces Manual | To benefit from convenient, distributed traces in order to collect all information of interest from the simulation. | [html] | [pdf] |
| The WOOPER Manual | So that the model implementation can rely on a suitable object-oriented paradigm. | [html] | [pdf] |
| The Myriad Manual | To take advantage of a general-purpose toolbox providing a range of built-in transverse services. | [html] | [pdf] |
Seasoned WOOPER users may just bookmark the WOOPER Cheat Sheet.
Finally, regarding the overall implementation language, Erlang, one may refer to its searchable online documentation, including its module index.
