SIMLAB: Automatically creating physical systems simulators

Abstract
SIMLAB, a software environment for creating simulators directly from computer-readable physics models, is based on the following concept: creating physical systems simulators should be as simple as describing the underlying physics to a colleague.
Rather than programming in a conventional programming language, a SIMLAB user expresses physics models (and thus simulators) directly in terms of the concepts, quantities, and equations familiar to a scientist or engineer.
The benefits of the SIMLAB approach include: 1) reducing the time and effort required to create simulators, 2) providing more understandable and reliable simulators, and 3) support for more sophisticated simulators, e.g., for multiple-domain problems, which have proved intractable in the past.
