1. A generic model simulation method comprising:
- mapping a specifically formatted process representation into a generic process model;
providing said generic process model to a simulation engine;
mapping each element of said specifically formatted process representation into a node in a directed acyclic graph;
defining directed connections between individual nodes in said directed acyclic graph;
mapping known attributes of said specifically formatted process to pre-defined attributes for selected nodes of said generic process model; and
,mapping other attributes of said specifically formatted process to user-defined attributes referencing corresponding expressions to be evaluated at a designated point in a simulation of said generic process model.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art with respect to event driven simulation and provide a method, data processing system and computer program product for mapping a process model for use in a generic simulation engine. In an embodiment of the invention, a generic model simulation method can include mapping a specifically formatted process representation into a generic process model, and providing the generic process model to a simulation engine. The method further can include executing a simulation on the generic process model in lieu of executing the simulation on the specifically formatted process representation.
