An Object-Event Simulation Approach to Simulation of ArchiMate Models

Simulation is a frequently used tool in enterprise management, with Object-Event Simulation (OES), a discrete-event simulation paradigm, being one option. However, in current implementations, simulation models in OES have to be programmed in JavaScript. ArchiMate is another common tool in enterprise management, with applications in risk modelling. This paper proposes a mapping of ArchiMate models to OES models, which allows for the automatic simulation of ArchiMate models. In an attempt to demonstrate the viability of the proposed mapping, a proof of concept has also been created.
