| Abstract: 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 can be viewed as
the construction of object-oriented programs. 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.
