Abstract: The subsystem of simulation model completion is discussed. This subsystem is one of the components of computer-aided design and simulation system Triad.Net. Triad.Net is dedicated to computer systems design. And it is well-known, that very often investigators do not know about the behavior in details of each component of computer system being under design in the early stages of this process. The paper considers an ontology-based approach for the incomplete simulation model analysis and its automatic completion. A behavior procedure for the undefined element is searched for in special database and included in simulation model. The paper considers the method of model completion, namely, introduces the concept of a “semantic type” and some conditions that should be fulfilled for an appropriate behavior procedure to be chosen. The base ontology of simulation model representation is discussed and the choice of language OWL is explained. The presented example shows the process of simulation model automatic completion, illustrates the use of semantic type and additional conditions. Besides, the paper describes the programming tools which provide an ontology-based automatic completion, presents the semiautomatic completion of partly described simulation model in simulation system Triad and the architecture of the program subsystem being under consideration.
