GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System)

 GPSS is a highly structured special-purpose programming language based on the process-
interaction approach and oriented towards queuing systems.
 Section 4.5 of the textbook provides a detailed example of simulation of a single-server
queue system in GPSS.
Simulation softwares

SSF (Scalable Simulation Framework)

 SSF is an API that describes a set of capabilities for object-oriented, process-view
simulation. API available in both Java and C++
 Section 4.6 of the textbook provides a detailed example of simulation of a single-server
queue system in SSF.
Simulation softwares

Java
 Java as a general purpose programming language has been widely used in simulation.
 Section 4.4 of the textbook provides a detailed example of simulation of a single-server
queue system in Java.
 Additionally, you can study papers on:
 Java Simulation Library (JSL) which is an open-source object-oriented library for discrete-event
simulation.
 javaSimulation which is a Java package for process-based discrete event simulation.
