SIMPAC: A RESEARCH TOOL FOR SIMULATION

Abstract

SIMPAC is a research tool designed for the implementation of system simulation. SIMPAC provides a macro language, for constructing a model, and a computer program which will move the model through time. The program produces output descriptive of the operation of the system. The class of systems susceptible to simulation with SIMPAC is one which can be adequately modeled as a queue-server network. The network may be complex; the queues may be subject to dynamic queue disciplines; the servers may have dynamic capacities; and the individual members of queues, referred to in this paper as transactions, may be identifiable.
