It is now feasible to include simulations in CIM systems, where the simulation is but one component which should be fully integrated with the other parts to support real-time decisions. We show how to formulate specifications for a simulation software to optimally serve CIM systems and how to translate specifications to a working code which has been successfully utilized in numerous applications. Its claimed suitability to CIM is presently under test.
