Abstract
A method for flexibly defining communication constructs includes providing at least one communication element type for at least one layer of a generalized communication model, such as a bus model. Each communication element type has a user-definable structure that is adaptable for representing a corresponding protocol layer of a target communication medium. Users can define specific communication element types to substantially represent the target protocol. Users can also define the communication element types to depart from the target protocol in precisely defined ways.
