Abstract
This paper presents an original approach for automatic construction of a simulation model for complex manufacturing systems. The model generation is based on spatio-temporal product trajectories, and it is detailed by the integration of heterogeneous knowledge & product data flows. The products, therefore, contribute directly to the control of the system. The formal generated model, a queuing network with spatial structure, is a permanent image of the real state of the system to be modelled; it can be described as being auto-adaptive.
