Schematic simulation is the name of a method for studying system specifications and explicating implications of the specifications for subsystem design. The method was developed in response to the expressed need of the designers of a Terminal Air Traffic Control (TATC) laboratory system. The method provides a model of the projected system and a procedure by which the designers can view system operations from the standpoint of the eventual operators. An illustration is given of how schematic simulation was used.
