A simulation study is divided into two layers, one dealing with the creation of a simulation model while the other deals with the execution of a simulation experiment with this model. In this thesis workflows for both layers, covering a broad range of different types of simulation studies are presented and a framework for executing those workflows as well as automatically collecting provenance data and documentation is developed and implemented.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="submitted by: Stefan Rybacki", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2016", url="http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve/urn/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2016-0114-0", language="English" }
