A QUICK LOOK AT SIMSCRIPT,

Abstract

In SIMSCRIPT, the status of a simulated system is described in terms of entities, attributes of entities, and sets of entities. Status is changed at points in simulated time called events. A separate event routine must be written for each different kind of event to be included in the simulation. For convenience in writing these routines, the SIMSCRIPT source language contains a variety of commands especially adapted to simulation problems. Some of these commands are illustrated.
