The importance of
greenhouse construction in some parts of the south-east of Spain has
led to the creation of a European Standard for the design and
construction of greenhouses for commercial production (UNE-EN 13031-1).
The design process of a tunnel greenhouse. The idea behind this
approach is to incorporate the characteristic of reusability into the
greenhouse design process: this characteristic naturally reduces the
cost of design of new programs, since the design costs are measured in
time and the number of errors made and rectified. In this paper, we
demonstrate modeling using object-oriented techniques (OOT) based upon
standard UML and XML notations for simulating multitunnel greenhouses.
These techniques facilitate identification of the actors involved,
their roles, functions, interaction protocols and behavior. Some
examples include the processes of greenhouse marketing, calculation of
interdependencies and decomposition between the greenhouse structures.
