When simulation modeling is used for
performance improvement studies of complex systems such as
transport terminals, domain specific conceptual modeling
constructs could be used by modelers to create structured
models. A two stage procedure which includes identification of
the problem characteristics/cluster - ‘knowledge acquisition’
and identification of standard models for the problem cluster –
‘model abstraction’ was found to be effective in creating
structured models when applied to certain logistic terminal
systems. In this paper we discuss some methods and examples
related the knowledge acquisition and model abstraction stages
for the development of three different types of model categories
of terminal systems
