Abstract

In this paper we intend to show that the open-source simulation framework DESMO-J can be used not only for logistic investigations - as it was being used by many during the last years - but also for evaluating and testing control systems. Therefore we propose to implement model components of container terminals in such a way that they can be used in logistic simulation as well as in device emulation test beds. This paper outlines our experience in extending DESMO-J for a broad range of applications in the context of container terminals and our experience in developing reusable model components for simulation and emulation. While Java-based DESMO-J is a product of the University of Hamburg, the functional container terminal extension, called COCoS, we present in this paper has been developed by the Hamburger Hafen and Logistik AG.
