Teaching a Computer Simulation Course with Ada

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop a nucleus of routines, along with accompanying documentation, for use in software engineering courses of courses in discrete-event system simulation. The system is called SIMPACK, after the main package that contains most of the simulation modules. SIMPACK was developed on an MS DOS computer using Meridian Ada, version 4.1.1. In addition to documentation, a floppy disk is included which contains all the Ada routines used, a compiled version of the system, and a template system to create data files for use by SIMPACK.
