A framework for dynamic visualisation in simulation based instructional training

Design approaches to model-based simulation in intelligent computer assisted instruction

“…The ADVISE system (Helfesrieder & Shankararaman, 1998) focuses on creating views on objectbased simulations. To achieve this, it formalises and enables the authoring and delivery of simulations into the stages of object-based model creation, data enrichment through characterisation of model objects and high-level de®nitions of views that are later dynamically assembled at runtime using the enriched model data.…”

“…The ADVISE system (Helfesrieder & Shankararaman, 1998), which is also based on the behavioural object model approach, uses methods of data-enrichment of the simulation model by characterisation, typing and grouping of model components at the authoring stage. With the additional meta-knowledge about a model component being part of a speci®c hierarchy or semantic context within the model, the system is able to generate dierent views on the overall model-based simulation depending on the contents of a descriptive query fed into the view-generator module of the system.…”

“…The ADVISE system (Helfesrieder & Shankararaman, 1998) follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm (e.g., Booch, 1994), thus implementing a strict separation between representation of a model-component, its graphical representation and interaction (the control portion) capabilities with it. The separation enables the system to generate variations of views (graphical representations) of the same underlying simulation model.…”
